The Constitutional Republic of Bilancorn is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Lord Khaos with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, unlimited-speed roads, and infamous sell-swords. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful population of 14.071 billion Bilancornians 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 tiny government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Derion. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Bilancornian economy, worth a remarkable 4,626 trillion Dukats a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 328,814 Dukats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

The government spends more on chasing distant comets than on basic infrastructure, diplomatic fallout tends to be much more dangerous than radioactive fallout, the government seems embarrassed to be seen governing, and the government is hounded to provide tissues whenever the feelings of the Dàguó people are hurt. Crime is totally unknown. Bilancorn's national animal is the Tiger Shark, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Daoism.

Bilancorn is ranked 4,473^rd in the world and 1^st in Bisscaso Islands for Highest Poor Incomes, with 172,495.85 Standard Monetary Units.
