It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rwandi. The average income tax rate is 81%, and even higher for the wealthy. A robust private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

Punitive tariffs protect local industry, the government has become increasingly militant, citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, and the tenet of free speech is held dear. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Balans's national animal is the Roc, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Chip.
