The Bolbonopolitan Land of Bilsa is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Bolbon with an iron fist, and renowned for its feral children, ban on automobiles, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 16.954 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 prioritizes Environment, although Education, Industry, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Welfare and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cecims. The average income tax rate is 82.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bilsan economy, worth a remarkable 2,655 trillion Bists a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 156,612 Bists, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The national arsenal is full of sound and fury signifying nothing, heart attack victims are thrown onto the rails, administrative districts are increasingly defined by their taste in housing architecture, and amorous nobles always bring the same disappointing gift to weddings. Crime, especially youth-related, is 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 1,101st in the world and 34th in Forest for Most Beautiful Environments, with 4,989.82 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
