The Serene Republic of La Cocina del Bodhi is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Fitzgerald Kennedy with a fair hand, and renowned for its national health service, prohibition of alcohol, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 18.139 billion Bodhians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sangha. The average income tax rate is 37.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bodhian economy, worth a remarkable 5,319 trillion Lotuses a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 293,285 Lotuses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits, noises louder than a whisper have been prohibited by law, grocery stores can be audibly identified by the giggling emerging from them, and any citizen who cries is immediately assigned a psychiatrist. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. La Cocina del Bodhi's national animal is the Beaver, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Buddhism.

La Cocina del Bodhi is ranked 3,581^st in the world and 6^th in Free Market Federation for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 652.08 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
