The Holy Gold Haggs of Bowmanium Commonwealth is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Yzaen Moygszaa-Vyzaer with an even hand, and notable for its vat-grown people, enslaved workforce, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 11.357 billion Bowmanians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dodargona. The average income tax rate is 72.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Bowmanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,178 trillion Vistas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 103,731 Vistas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Children gain their first sex education from reading the dictionary, the masses are surrendering their civil liberties without complaint for the sake of shopping convenience, selling your granddad's clothes requires an incredible amount of paperwork, and the official Bowmanian Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bowmanium Commonwealth's national animal is the Bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Atheism.

Bowmanium Commonwealth is ranked 26,060^th in the world and 2^nd in Northern Hemispheric Entente for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 240.6 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
