Balerion07 is a WA Member

The Holy Empire of Balerion07 is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed population of 861 million 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 Religion & Spirituality, Defence, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 86%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, followed by Uranium Mining and Gambling.

Only the wealthy can afford monorail fares, research into 'designer babies' is banned, citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked, and councils up and down the country wrangle over legal matters. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is well under control, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Balerion07's national animal is the walrus, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the penny.

Balerion07 is ranked 66th in the region and 53,392nd in the world for Most Godforsaken.
