The Ursae Majoris of Bilabao is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Krling Eagge with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and national health service. The hard-nosed, cynical, cheerful population of 49.354 billion Bilabaons are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Healthcare, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of North Pole. The average income tax rate is 68.3%.

The thriving Bilabaoan economy, worth a remarkable 3,267 trillion icicles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Retail, Book Publishing, Cheese Exports, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 66,205 icicles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Vitriolic divorce proceedings have become prime-time television, artists are renowned for their ability to make art pieces out of thin air, the concrete jungle has become a large steel cage, and street crime is on the rise as police officers spend most of their time in prisons. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bilabao's national animal is the polar bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bilabao is ranked 225,183rd in the world and 6th in The Arctic for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring -6.1 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
