The Beauty Land of Bilsa is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Bolbon with an iron fist, and notable for its aversion to nipples, rampant corporate plagiarism, and hatred of cheese. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 22.112 billion Bilsans 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Environment, with Industry and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Welfare and Education receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cecims. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 77.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Bilsan economy, worth a remarkable 3,602 trillion Bists a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Gambling. 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 an impressive 162,913 Bists, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 524,828 per year while the poor average 38,274, a ratio of 13.7 to 1.

Aides are afraid to ask if Bolbon wants a cup of tea or coffee, pretty hair and tight shorts are considered to be essentials for successful political lobbyists, there's nothing more Bilsan than revanchism, and the police ransack more houses than criminals do. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Bilsa's national animal is the Bubu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Suraj.

Bilsa is ranked 331,457th in the world and 277th in Forest for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -28.07 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
