The Republic of The Democratic Union of Botswana is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, disturbing lack of elderly people, and frequent executions. The cynical population of 295 million Batswana are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gaborone. The average income tax rate is 54.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Motswana economy, worth 14.8 trillion Botswana Pulas a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 50,229 Botswana Pulas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cash-strapped junkies lick rabbits for a cheap high, the constant playing of Merry Birthday on Motswana radio has led to calls for the song to be classified as a crime against humanity, The Democratic Union of Botswana has designated Gaborone as its capital city, and Leader has killer fashion sense. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Democratic Union of Botswana's national animal is the Cave Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Democratic Union of Botswana is ranked 249,882nd in the world and 1,052nd in Europe for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 22,703.68 Standard Monetary Units.
