Background

The Holy Republic of Bodhisvaha is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons. Its government was founded upon the principles of Mahayana Buddhism. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of around 356 million enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The enormous government is mainly concerned with Education, although Defence and Social Welfare are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 34%. A large private sector is led by the Soda Sales industry, followed by Book Publishing and Information Technology.

Same-sex marriages are increasingly common, a ban on unsolicited cold calling in all forms is in effect, the upper class have been throwing riots after hunting was recently banned, and the government has started a campaign to crack down on road rage and encourage alternate means of commuting. Crime is relatively low. Bodhisvaha's national animal is the Seven-Headed Naga, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Tanha.
