The Protectorate of Boodwandrustion is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 685 million Boodwandrustionians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The tiny, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.9%.

The all-consuming Boodwandrustionian economy, worth 59.9 trillion pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 87,453 pounds, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 789,099 per year while the poor average 1,180, a ratio of 668 to 1.

There's more vermin than ever on the metro, the controversial show 'Who Wants to be an Immigrant?' has become wildly popular, retirement homes are filled with foreign war criminals, and major internet servers have acquired citizenship. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Boodwandrustion's national animal is the turtle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Boodwandrustion is ranked 290,925^th in the world and 1,253^rd in the Plains of Perdition for Most Pacifist, with 8.26 cheeks turned per day.
