The Free Democracy of Ballotonia is a behemoth, genial nation, ruled by Ballo with a fair hand, and renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, parental licensing program, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 51.877 billion Ballons enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Industry, and Environment also on the agenda, while Defense and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tulipolis. The average income tax rate is 98.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Ballotonian economy, worth an astonishing 16,411 trillion Levs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 316,350 Levs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens try to ignore gruesome pictures of decaying teeth printed on their soda cans, passionate nomination battles are often as intense as general elections, stocks go up when the internet says so, and the nation is renowned abroad for its love of blood and guts. Crime is totally unknown. Ballotonia's national animal is the Penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Atheism.

Ballotonia is ranked 2,191^st in the world and 2^nd in Nederland for Highest Poor Incomes, with 211,775.01 Standard Monetary Units.
