The Ursae Majoris of Bilabao is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Krling Eagge with an iron fist, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, lack of airports, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, cheerful population of 49.724 billion Bilabaons are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Healthcare, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of North Pole. The average income tax rate is 68.8%.

The thriving Bilabaoan economy, worth a remarkable 3,237 trillion icicles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Retail, Book Publishing, Cheese Exports, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 65,104 icicles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Seafood restaurants regularly receive complaints that the food is still moving, there's nothing more Bilabaoan than revanchism, the armed forces pride themselves on being conventional and predictable, and schoolchildren have more trading cards than flash cards in their backpacks. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bilabao's national animal is the polar bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bilabao is ranked 15,476th in the world and 4th in The Arctic for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 3,972.15 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
