The Colony of New Bulgoria is a very large, orderly nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 429 million Bulgoris are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kazinkistan. The average income tax rate is 79.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient New Bulgorian economy, worth 20.8 trillion Culers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Tourism, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 48,593 Culers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Farting etiquette is taught in schools, criminals and college students are taking an interest in the government's new weed-killing program, piracy is the nation's most popular pastime, and the state auctions off combat drones to fund war reparations. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Bulgoria's national animal is the Black Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

New Bulgoria is ranked 162,909^th in the world and 1,605^th in the Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 54.71 on the Human Development Index.
