The Disputed Territories of The Bureaucratic Territories is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Overlord with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, democratic population of 12.757 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 government is dominated by the Department of Education, although Industry, Healthcare, 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 92.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Weighed and Measured economy, worth a remarkable 2,329 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 182,598 Favours, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Board shorts have replaced board rooms, the Supreme Court vehemently protects civil rights and the right to privacy, history textbook pages are used as impromptu tissues by distraught students, and praying before a battle is a court-martial offence.

The Bureaucratic Territories is ranked 107,181^st in the world and 5,145^th in The North Pacific for Largest Mining Sector, scoring 1,305.38 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
