Boksotan

The Dominion of Boksotan is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, ban on automobiles, and lack of airports. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 1.492 billion Boksotanians are prohibited from doing almost everything but make sure no one in government gets away with anything either.

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 87.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Boksotanian economy, worth 153 trillion structures a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, highly specialized black market in Tourism, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 102,898 structures, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Schoolchildren must pass a six-month Ethics and Safety Committee Assessment before they are allowed to mix baking soda and vinegar, Leader's recent "I have a dream that we will fight them by raking muck on the beaches" speech seems a little derivative to many, sick days are on the rise, and sex education has become an intricate maze of stick figures and complex metaphors. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Boksotan's national animal is the moon bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Boksotan is ranked 3,502nd in the world and 7th in Concord for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 9,750.56 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
