The People's Overlordship of Bulw is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Loji with an iron fist, and renowned for its smutty television, compulsory military service, and parental licensing program. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.826 billion Freiheit ist scheibes 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Seleukia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 72.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Bulwian economy, worth a remarkable 2,057 trillion Civic Rubles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 233,085 Civic Rubles, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 859,930 per year while the poor average 44,581, a ratio of 19.3 to 1.

Voters must frequently select what they view as the lesser of two evils on the ballot, nobody knows where reality TV show "The Real Housewives of CENSORED" is filmed, the Fashion Channel can only be viewed on widescreen TVs, and the Smalltopian embassy doubles as an electoral campaign headquarters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bulw's national animal is the T-Rex, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Astralism.

Bulw is ranked 79,006^th in the world and 10^th in Merciam for Nicest Citizens, with 15.51 average smiles per day.
