The Disputed Territories of The Bureaucratic Territories is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Overlord with a fair hand, and renowned for its smutty television, daily referendums, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 8.644 billion Measured Men 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 medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Education, although Healthcare, Industry, and Environment are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District 1. The average income tax rate is 87.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Weighed and Measured economy, worth a remarkable 1,501 trillion Favours a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 173,750 Favours, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation is stuck in permanent election mode as politicians demand constant do-overs, advertisements for jobs in the sciences run in fashion magazines, attendance of fathers at PTA meetings is at an all-time high, and there are no more heroes any more. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. The Bureaucratic Territories's national animal is the Mutated Platypus, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

The Bureaucratic Territories is ranked 14,697^th in the world and 694^th in The North Pacific for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 78.52 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
