The United Socialist States of Boetiae is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Timur Iskandar Dharma with an even hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, pith helmet sales, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 4.252 billion Boetiaeans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bukhārā. The average income tax rate is 77.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Boetiaean economy, worth 514 trillion soms a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 120,968 soms, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Romantic sunsets are no longer interrupted by explosions and monstrous roars, public projects are synonymous with yawn-inducing conformity, weekends are spent tilting at windmills, and politicians accost strangers in the street to ask their problems. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Boetiae's national animal is the Prancing Saiga, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Zensunni.

Boetiae is ranked 262,248^th in the world and 816^th in The Communist Bloc for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -8.31 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
