The Boutique Empire of Bassiliya is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by the Emperor with an iron fist, and renowned for its avowedly heterosexual populace, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 14.451 billion Bassiliyans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, moralistic government stops and the rest of society begins, but it prioritizes Healthcare, although Environment, Defense, and Administration are also considered important, while Social Policy and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Otoklis. The average income tax rate is 76.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Bassiliyan economy, worth 426 trillion Kairmas a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Cheese Exports industry. Average income is 29,479 Kairmas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There has been a series of riots between local cannibals and health food advocates, ship captains always order a return to port at the slightest sign of rain, government officials have to mortgage their homes to make ends meet, and the government-run newspapers insist that everything is fine. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bassiliya's national animal is the Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Otoism.

Bassiliya is ranked 293,132^nd in the world and 13^th in Thegye for Highest Average Incomes, with 29,479.64 Standard Monetary Units.
