The Swinging Jungle of Baloo Kingdom is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King Baloo von Bruinwald XIII with an even hand, and notable for its ritual sacrifices, avowedly heterosexual populace, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 5.032 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 government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Baloo Kingdom City. The average income tax rate is 96.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Balooite economy, worth 729 trillion Prickly Pears a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 144,944 Prickly Pears, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

King Baloo von Bruinwald XIII is too busy listening to praise to get any work done, giggling teens are asked to put their mouths on rubber dolls, most households' childcare costs are higher than their mortgage payments, and burial ceremonies have become as routinised as tax forms. 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 245,540^th in the world and 77^th in Callista for Greatest Rich-Poor Divides, with 1.34 Rich To Poor Income Ratio.
