The Theocracy of Balan Bar II is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, state-planned economy, and restrictive gun laws. The cynical, devout population of 4.249 billion Faithfuls are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Spirituality, although Welfare, Law & Order, and Education are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 43.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Balan Bar IIian economy, worth 126 trillion Rupees a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Pizza Delivery, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 29,779 Rupees, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The strong are acquitted and the weak are trampled in trial by a Fox, the nation's secret service is so secret that nobody knows if it has one, and organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Balan Bar II's national animal is the Fox.

Balan Bar II is ranked 115,251st in the world and 6th in The Great North for Most Stationary, with 331.2265935704 days.
