The I'm doing fine of Balisca is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Zavier Bilal with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 5.2 billion Baliscans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Castejón. The average income tax rate is 53.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Baliscan economy, worth 553 trillion Baliscan sols a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 106,443 Baliscan sols, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Parents are shocked to find out that having kids costs money, minority children spend hours bussing to schools miles away from home, government fact-checkers use surprising amounts of high explosive, and no animal is considered endangered if there's another that looks kind of like it. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Balisca's national animal is the crocodile, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Balisca is ranked 24,880th in the world and 593rd in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 247.29 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
