The Commonwealth of Boolaroo is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Harry Potter with an even hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, strictly enforced bedtime, and smutty television. The hard-working population of 48.831 billion Boolarooans 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hogwarts. The average income tax rate is 76.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Boolarooan economy, worth a remarkable 4,378 trillion dollars a year, is extremely specialized and solely comprised of the Book Publishing industry. Average income is 89,675 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The government is on the side of working people (like CEOs, bankers and billionaires), politicians' smiles are legally considered a form of disaster relief, the government merely sends empty platitudes whenever natural disasters strike foreign nations, and schoolchildren must pass a six-month Ethics and Safety Committee Assessment before they are allowed to mix baking soda and vinegar. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Boolaroo's national animal is the kangaroo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Boolaroo is ranked 331,140th in the world and 17,627th in Lazarus for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -30.08 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
