The Republic of Boltannia is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, rampant corporate plagiarism, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 782 million Lone Wolves hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cruzëgul. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 38.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Boltannian economy, worth 79.2 trillion quesoes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Gambling, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 101,338 quesoes, with the richest citizens earning 5.7 times as much as the poorest.

Short is not always sweet, pictures of government employees with expensive Pearbooks 'working' on exotic beaches dominate local tabloids, literature classes frequently go on field trips to rock concerts, and a broken arm or leg no longer costs an arm and a leg. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Boltannia's national animal is the Winged Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Boltannia is ranked 37,360^th in the world and 723^rd in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 5,605.2 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
