The Disputed Territories of The Bureaucratic Territories is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Overlord with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, democratic population of 14.136 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 large, liberal government is primarily concerned with Education, although Healthcare, Industry, and Environment are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District 1. The average income tax rate is 93.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Weighed and Measured economy, worth a remarkable 2,559 trillion Favours a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 181,047 Favours, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Advertisements for jobs in the sciences run in fashion magazines, third world countries are rich in "I Love District 1" t-shirts, government fact-checkers use surprising amounts of high explosive, and parents seeking custody have to write a five-thousand word analysis of their child's imaginary friend. 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 128,820^th in the world and 2,877^th in The North Pacific for Largest Black Market, with 234 billion Standard Monetary Units.
