The Människorplatsvärlden of Baliamark is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Lord Timon with an iron fist, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, free-roaming dinosaurs, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 4.322 billion Baliamarkans 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stallrow. The average income tax rate is 67.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Baliamarkan economy, worth 503 trillion pengarkontantvalutas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 116,441 pengarkontantvalutas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Internet moderator is one of the most popular jobs among the nation's more socially awkward citizens, citizens live in superstitious fear of the mysterious glowing clouds that float over Baliamark, advert breaks are played at lower volumes to make them easier to ignore, and invasive drug testing is now performed at elementary school sports days. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Baliamark's national animal is the swan, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is ursprungskapelsetro.

Baliamark is ranked 117,287th in the world and 5,563rd in Balder for Most Cultured, scoring 65 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
