“If it Ain't Bazalonian, Its not worth a red Baz”

The Prime Ministerialship of Bazalonia is a colossal, economically powerful nation, ruled by Richard Menzies with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 9.493 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Religion & Spirituality, and Defence. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fauxhan. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, followed by Beef-Based Agriculture and Soda Sales.

The government is using tax revenues to provide jobs for the poor, Bazalonia has designated Fauxhan as its capital city, the judicial branch is strongly influenced by major corporations, and the nation has an international reputation for compassion. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bazalonia's national animal is the Bazalope, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Christianity, and its currency is the Baz.

Bazalonia is ranked 69th in the region and 54,670th in the world for Most Godforsaken.
