The Democratic Empire of Bulvaria is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Garsoni IV with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, parental licensing program, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 2.619 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 Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bul. The average income tax rate is 45.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bulvarian economy, worth 237 trillion Bulvarian Dollars a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Automobile Manufacturing, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 90,773 Bulvarian Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Male politicians lose their jobs for staring too long at their female counterparts, students are known to arrive at school in their pyjamas, the reams of paperwork accompanying any electronic item are a recognised contributor to national deforestation, and major cities are suffering under water rationing. 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 55,028^th in the world and 3,385^th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 72.88 law-abiding acts per hour.
