The Royals of Free Bale is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, ban on automobiles, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 1.651 billion Bali are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Antasi. The average income tax rate is 57.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Balan economy, worth 57.2 trillion guilders 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 led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Gambling. Average income is 34,616 guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All government facilities are built in the subterranean citadel of Antasi, the government has announced its plans to construct a giant weaponised robot-cat, serial killers who are released early distribute death but not their seed, and nobody looks each other in the eye at neighborhood block parties any more. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Free Bale's national animal is the bison, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Free Bale is ranked 63,463^rd in the world and 1^st in The Emerald Desert for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 4,276.89 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
