The Constitutional Monarchy of Bonla is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, compulsory military service, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 169 million Bonlans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 24.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Bonlan economy, worth 9.48 trillion BLAS a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 56,087 BLAS, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The poor are often seen pale and dizzy after selling their blood to make ends meet, the government has officially clarified that "wee on your hands to save time" does not count as proper hygiene, trust-fund babies line up for places in community college, and builders across Bonla are blocked up with orders for new public loos. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bonla's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bonla is ranked 78,421^st in the world and 136^th in Commonwealth of Liberty for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 50.99 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
