The United States of Billingtor is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, pith helmet sales, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.049 billion Billingtorians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sannhet. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.7%.

The thriving Billingtorian economy, worth 92.8 trillion coins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, and Information Technology. Average income is 88,420 coins, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 372,035 per year while the poor average 13,637, a ratio of 27.3 to 1.

All government facilities are built in the subterranean citadel of Sannhet, owning a tractor is widely regarded as an essential prerequisite to most government positions, Big Belly is watching you, and more sidewalk is dedicated to animals than people. Crime is a problem. Billingtor's national animal is the Crow.

Billingtor is ranked 285,872^nd in the world and 117^th in Fifth Empire for Highest Drug Use, scoring 26.61 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
