The Disputed Territories of The Bureaucratic Territories is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Overlord with a fair hand, and notable for its frequent executions, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 8.118 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 is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District 1. The average income tax rate is 86.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Weighed and Measured economy, worth a remarkable 1,398 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 172,310 Favours, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Police officers often conceal their identities to safeguard against public complaints, the nation's atlases tend to go out of date every few weeks, the government spends more on chasing distant comets than on basic infrastructure, and counselors have to sign pledges supporting gay rights before they can speak to any patients. 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 7,592^nd in the world and 328^th in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 97.71 Law-abiding Acts Per Hour.
