The Island of Thousand Temples of -Bali is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by VVayan Koster with a fair hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, compulsory vegetarianism, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 6.489 billion Balinese are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of DenPasar. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Balinese economy, worth a remarkable 1,460 trillion Rupiah Balis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 225,009 Rupiah Balis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sales of disinfectant wipes have skyrocketed, travelers are subject to extensive searches if beet stains are visible on their clothing, prime real estate is devoted to wind farms and solar energy generators, and -Bali recently hosted the least successful trade negotiations since The Phantom Menace. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. -Bali's national animal is the Balinese Starling, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Hindu Bali.

-Bali is ranked 1,166^th in the world and 1^st in Council of Asia for Most Beautiful Environments, with 4,864.84 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
