The Democratic Empire of Bulvaria is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Garsoni IV with an iron fist, and remarkable for its parental licensing program, public floggings, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 2.652 billion Bulvarians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bul. The average income tax rate is 46.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bulvarian economy, worth 248 trillion Bulvarian Dollars a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Arms Manufacturing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 93,633 Bulvarian Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The meaning of life was recently discovered in the patch notes for Version 1.42, colonial subjects have Bulvarian culture shoved down their throats, at the edge of the final frontier space's biggest missile platform is about to unfold, and the people's love for Garsoni IV is little more than self-preservation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bulvaria's national animal is the Bulvarian Mongoose, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bulvaria is ranked 26,971^st in the world and 1,573^rd in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 83 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
