The Serene Republic of La Cocina del Bodhi is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Fitzgerald Kennedy with a fair hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 18.08 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. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 33.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Bodhian economy, worth a remarkable 5,317 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 294,083 Lotuses, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 837,198 per year while the poor average 82,421, a ratio of 10.2 to 1.

Heavy industry must go to expensive lengths to dispose of waste, the tenet of free speech is held dear, LCDB-SPAN viewership drops as MPs act their age, and citizens try to ignore gruesome pictures of decaying teeth printed on their soda cans. 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 3,637^th in the world and 2^nd in Free Market Federation for Safest, scoring 136.24 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
