Bo, officially the Holy State of Bo, is a nation in southern Asia. It is bordered by Tydo to the north, Dia to the northwest, Persha to the southwest, Zonha to the south and east, and the Goby Uninhabitable Region (GUR) to the northeast.
Bo ranks very high in civil liberties and high in HRC-FS human rights. Political freedom is ranked moderately. Bo’s highly religious and respectful society has been able to maintain low crime and low civil restrictions. Most HRC-FS human rights are protected and the remainder are generally respected. Politics in Bo are run by a unique dual system of government with an absolute monarchy (Dalai Lama) and a political leader (Sikyong). Ultimately, the Dalai Lama, who is the head of Boen Buddhism, has absolute power, however, the Sikyong has been granted additional power by the Dalai Lama for centuries.
Bo’s economy is fairly weak and mainly trades with Tydo, Dia, Nosha, and Yashu. Bo is a founding member of the Himalayan Cooperative aimed at strengthening trade among the Himalayan nations. Agriculture, hydropower, and mining of stone and precious metals are the major markets of the economy. Bo is a mostly self-sustaining country, and is mostly isolated from the rest of the world. The harsh terrain of Bo heavily restricts transportation and what can be produced.
Etymology
There is much debate about the origins of the word Bo and many different stories have been passed down through various families and clans within the country. The customs, culture, language, and location of the country have been almost unchanged for over a thousand years, leading to the probable conclusion that it has always been named Bo, or some derivitive thereof.
