The Swinging Jungle of Baloo Kingdom is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by King Baloo von Bruinwald XIII with an even hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, daily referendums, and zero percent divorce rate. The compassionate, devout population of 7.341 billion Balooites are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Baloo Kingdom City. The average income tax rate is 96.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Balooite economy, worth a remarkable 1,086 trillion Prickly Pears a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Furniture Restoration, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 148,044 Prickly Pears, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Life expectancies inside correctional facilities vastly exceed the national average, the atmosphere in Balooite boardrooms is turning more gay, social media sites go into shutdown for days at a time to censor user content, and government negotiators never forget to say "pretty please" when begging for custody of its criminals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Baloo Kingdom's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Lutheran Christianity.

Baloo Kingdom is ranked 10,896th in the world and 12th in Callista for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 8,050.36 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
