The State of Balsaridge is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and suspicion of poets. The cynical population of 17.336 billion Balsaridgeans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 52.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Balsaridgean economy, worth 461 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 26,629 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Political activists are routinely executed, punitive tariffs protect local industry, the nation's official head of religious affairs is an atheist, and Balsaridge has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Balsaridge's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Balsaridge is ranked 49,595th in the world and 8th in South Dakota for Most Stationary, with 913.02367260892 days.
