The People's Republic of Bialonia is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its digital currency, ubiquitous missile silos, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 733 million Bialonians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nisa. The average income tax rate is 75.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Bialonian economy, worth 45.9 trillion Vals a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Tourism. Average income is 62,648 Vals, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Fashion models are guaranteed to be 100% genuinely as anorexic as they appear on magazine covers, the government burgles the houses of holidaying citizens, government employees from Bialonia dominate international lumberjack competitions, and internal strife within the Red Bloc crumbles in the face of fiery rhetoric. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bialonia's national animal is the Wisent, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bialonia is ranked 34,187^th in the world and 1,119^th in The East Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 4,781.81 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
