The Rogue Nation of Botany Bay is a gargantuan, orderly nation, notable for its restrictive gun laws and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, cynical population of 21.625 billion Botany Bayians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The large, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Public Transport. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 32.0%.

The strong Botany Bayian economy, worth 813 trillion tubes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Soda Sales industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Trout Farming, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 37,623 tubes, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 255,791 per year while the poor average 2,021, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Botany Bay's national animal is the sleeper.

Botany Bay is ranked 131,507^th in the world and 1^st in Ceti Alpha V for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 2,236.14 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
