The Hanging Chad of Butterfly Ballot is a gargantuan, devout nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 16.376 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.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Religion & Spirituality, and Commerce. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 17%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Soda Sales, and Book Publishing industries.

Voting is compulsory and citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked. Crime is a serious problem. Butterfly Ballot's national animal is the panther, and its currency is the moonstone.

Butterfly Ballot is ranked 9th in Florida and 51,265th in the world for Largest Mining Sector, scoring 2 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
