The Republic of Baldeluna is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Gonzalo de Lezo with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, unlimited-speed roads, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, cheerful population of 11.226 billion Baldelunans 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 relatively small government prioritizes Education, with Industry, Defense, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of El Valle. The average income tax rate is 25.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Baldelunan economy, worth a remarkable 2,365 trillion Pesetas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 210,677 Pesetas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

One man's trash is another company's tax break, there's no such thing as bad publicity, infantry are nicknamed "mushrooms" because they get fed crap and are left in the dark, and newspaper stories fill several pages with colorful adjectives. Crime is totally unknown. Baldeluna's national animal is the Bull, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Baldeluna is ranked 223,984^th in the world and 9,259^th in Balder for Most Corrupt Governments, with 1.34 kickbacks per hour.
