The Democratic Republic of Borstovia is a very large, safe nation, notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 304 million Borstovians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Welfare, Administration, and Healthcare are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Borstovia. The average income tax rate is 76.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Borstovian economy, worth 20.2 trillion Kharas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Trout Farming, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 66,476 Kharas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Extraordinary tribunals try accused financial criminals, sick Borstovians are hair today and gone tomorrow, enemy navies sail within bombardment range of major coastal cities with impunity, and holiday light displays just aren't the same without seizure-inducing strobe effects. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Borstovia's national animal is the Borstavian Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Borstovia is ranked 109,623rd in the world and 375th in Concord for Highest Average Incomes, with 66,476.06 Standard Monetary Units.
