The Disputed Territories of The Bureaucratic Territories is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Overlord with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, avant-garde cinema, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.157 billion Measured Men hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Education, with Healthcare, Industry, and Environment also on the agenda, 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 78.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Weighed and Measured economy, worth 980 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 reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 159,309 Favours, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

There's never enough space in space, the family of Overlord bite their thumbs at paparazzi intrusions, no one believes anything until it has been strenuously tested and peer-reviewed, and foreign powers often deal with problems that The Bureaucratic Territories can't handle. 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 150,077^th in the world and 8,089^th in The North Pacific for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring -154.47 on the Hayek Index.
