The Socialist Federation of Balkanturistan is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by the Council of the Four Municipalities with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.852 billion Balkanturisti love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.
The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nathalion. The average income tax rate is 91.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The powerhouse Balkanturist economy, worth 560 trillion Marxes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is 95,837 Marxes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The government's new priority is citizens' access to cat videos, giggling elementary school newspaper reporters want to know why the Council of the Four Municipalities is a silly poophead, government expenses are beyond compare, and visitors often mistake the toiletplex at music festivals for the main stage. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Balkanturistan's national animal is the Boyko, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Backgammon.
Balkanturistan is ranked 25,160th in the world and 29th in The Free Nations Region for Most Income Equality, scoring 75.72 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
