The Ization of Balkans is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its burgeoning grub population. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 14.314 billion Balkans 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Public Transport, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 34.5%.

The Balkansian economy, worth 509 trillion mudden coins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Automobile Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Average income is 35,604 mudden coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is moderate. Balkans's national animal is the grub, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Balkans is ranked 131,244^th in the world and 38^th in Eastern Europe for Most Primitive, scoring -37.42 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
