The Badlands Beyond The Brink of The Bizarre is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Ernest Mann with a fair hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, strictly enforced bedtime, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 27.24 billion Bizarroes 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — prioritizes Education, with Social Policy, Healthcare, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Law & Order aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Down Town. The average income tax rate is 94.9%.

The powerhouse Bizarrean economy, worth a remarkable 2,727 trillion Time Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Book Publishing industry. Average income is an impressive 100,136 Time Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tuba players are paid to quietly whisper into their instruments, a policy of plausible deniability helps protect the government from athletic doping scandals, research grant proposals read like political diatribes, and terrorists are on a first name basis with the officials that stamp their passports. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. The Bizarre's national animal is the moose, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Bizarrism.

The Bizarre is ranked 262,931st in the world and 7th in The Illuminati for Lowest Crime Rates, with 51.44 law-abiding acts per hour.
