The Beauty Land of Bilsa is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Bolbon with an iron fist, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, ban on automobiles, and fear of technology. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 10.942 billion Bists are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Environment, with Education, Industry, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Welfare and Defense are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cecims. The average income tax rate is 77.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bist economy, worth a remarkable 1,553 trillion Bists a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 141,991 Bists, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Criminals and college students are taking an interest in the government's new weed-killing program, it turns out you can teach cats new tricks, overhead luggage compartments on planes sometimes conceal dimunitive intelligence officers, and the phrase "you might think that but I couldn't possibly comment" is the closest you'll get to a straight answer from Bist politicians. Crime is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Bilsa's national animal is the Bubu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Sun.

Bilsa is ranked 3,438^th in the world and 14^th in Forest for Most Corrupt Governments, with 218.87 kickbacks per hour.
