The Jiving Jungle of Baloo Kingdom is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King Baloo von Bruinwald XIII with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 14.318 billion Balooites enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Baloo Kingdom City. The average income tax rate is 97.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Balooite economy, worth a remarkable 2,189 trillion Baloocial Credits a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 152,937 Baloocial Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government officials are held to the highest standard of morality, thousands of former pirates can be found peddling knockoff products in flea markets, many friends and relatives of King Baloo von Bruinwald XIII have been given ambassador jobs in tropical island nations, and students do more community service than homework. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Baloo Kingdom's national animal is the Sloth Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Lutheran Christianity.

Baloo Kingdom is ranked 6,611th in the world and 3rd in Callista for Most Developed, scoring 93.07 on the Human Development Index.
