The Democratic Republic of Bodhisva is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Étienne Sickleton with a fair hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 3.933 billion Bodhisvans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Still Waters. The average income tax rate is 98.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Bodhisvan economy, worth 831 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 211,388 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Étienne Sickleton's Twitcher account is typically used to share yak memes rather than government policy, motivational posters send motorists positive vibes in high-risk areas, the government's new priority is citizens' access to cat videos, and restaurant owners fear visits from government officials more than the actual food critics. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bodhisva's national animal is the yak, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Mahāyāna Buddhism.

Bodhisva is ranked 1,750^th in the world and 87^th in The North Pacific for Safest, scoring 150.91 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
