The Chosen Empire of Bassiliya is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 1.019 billion Bassiliyans, all of whom are zombies, 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 Healthcare, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 53.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Bassiliyan economy, worth 47.0 trillion Kairmas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 27,376 Kairmas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bassiliya's national animal is the Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Bassiliya is ranked 184,660^th in the world and 47^th in Thegye for Most Avoided, scoring 1.1 on the Kardashian Reflex Score.
