The Confederacy of Basedilonia is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Jillian with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, soft-spoken computers, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 1.191 billion CatAlunyas 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, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alunya City. The average income tax rate is 92.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Basedilonian economy, worth 129 trillion Nyaans a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 108,794 Nyaans, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The latest national park is visited by more sharks than people, cops shout apologies with every swing of their baton, people boast about their low income on their dating profiles, and couples are discouraged from marrying until they can rank their partner on a scale of one to ten. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Basedilonia's national animal is the Alligator Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Basedilonia is ranked 251,861^st in the world and 357^th in Refugia for Largest Soda Pop Sector, scoring -10.54 on the Addison-Fukk Productivity Rating.
