The Very Inactive of Balaslandia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Payton with an iron fist, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, national health service, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, cynical population of 2.931 billion Balaslandians 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 relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Balaslandia. The average income tax rate is 35.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Balaslandian economy, worth 389 trillion Stars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 132,887 Stars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Animal liberationists receive government funding to break into animal research labs, cane fights are a common sight in nursing homes, drill sergeants yell in the ears of bespectacled nerds in cybermilitary "reboot camps", and a byzantine web of conspiracies and secret alliances must be navigated any time legislation is voted upon. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Balaslandia's national animal is the Black Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is None.

Balaslandia is ranked 144,841^st in the world and 90^th in First World Order for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 45.74 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
