The Federation of Balnik is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Andre Chernobog with an iron fist, and notable for its frequent executions, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 19.054 billion Balniki 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 enormous, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rustov. The average income tax rate is 67.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Balniki economy, worth a remarkable 1,091 trillion Vrags a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 57,260 Vrags, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Prison officers are bribed not to take bribes, school uniforms are compulsory, people who make the leader's blood boil get boiled, and Super Barry Brothers is the most popular video game in the nation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Balnik's national animal is the Grand Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Voyachekism.

Balnik is ranked 13,113th in the world and 24th in The Western Isles for Most Stationary, with 1,925.84402440348 days.
