The Theocracy of Bilanie is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 699 million Bilanieans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dar al-Tawhid. The average income tax rate is 78.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Bilaniean economy, worth 52.7 trillion Bilans 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 Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 75,440 Bilans, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Multiple births are a cause of celebration for tax collectors, children spend all morning taking out a comma and all afternoon putting it back in again, a degree in Leader Science with a Minor in Awesomeology starts many political careers, and in life full of care there is no time to stop and stare. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bilanie's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bilanie is ranked 20,703rd in the world and 34th in The Order of the Grey Wardens for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 1,153.76 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
