Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Republic of The Bulgarian Balkans is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Vasil Levski with a fair hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 15.815 billion love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and the Environment. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Varna. The average income tax rate is 100%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Criminals are put to death while cuddling their favourite teddy bear, protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations, the government is spending millions on renovating the public transportation system, and large areas of The Bulgarian Balkans are not accessible by the public. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Bulgarian Balkans's national animal is the falcon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the ruble.

The Bulgarian Balkans is ranked 164th in USSR and 101,239th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -66 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
