The Free Democracy of Ballotonia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Ballo with an even hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, parental licensing program, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 46.354 billion Ballons are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The relatively small government is primarily concerned with Education, with Administration, Industry, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Defense and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tulipolis. The average income tax rate is 27.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ballotonian economy, worth an astonishing 15,333 trillion Levs a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 330,792 Levs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Basic multiplication is all you need to know to have a child, foreign policy is mostly just to smile and hope for the best, RPG fans reminisce fondly about when people thought they were evil and dangerous rather than geeky and socially inept, and the atmosphere in Ballotonian boardrooms is turning more gay. Crime is totally unknown. Ballotonia's national animal is the Penguin, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Atheism.

Ballotonia is ranked 2,731st in the world and 2nd in Nederland for Most Cultured, scoring 226 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
