The Bolbonopolitan Land of Bilsa is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Bolbon with an iron fist, and renowned for its feral children, aversion to nipples, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 16.965 billion Bilsans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Environment, with Education, Industry, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Welfare and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cecims. The average income tax rate is 81.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bilsan economy, worth a remarkable 2,649 trillion Bists a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 156,151 Bists, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Heart attack victims are thrown onto the rails, administrative districts are increasingly defined by their taste in housing architecture, amorous nobles always bring the same disappointing gift to weddings, and the government regularly crumbles under the pressure of terrorists. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Bilsa's national animal is the Bubu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Suraj.

Bilsa is ranked 290,154th in the world and 329th in Forest for Safest, scoring 3.53 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
