The Protectorate of Billeyrie is a large, efficient nation, notable for its spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working population of 193 million Billeyrieans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.5%.

The very strong Billeyriean economy, worth 11.8 trillion rubles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Soda Sales, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 60,898 rubles, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 228,884 per year while the poor average 11,311, a ratio of 20.2 to 1.

It is illegal to make racist remarks in public, citizens are barcoded to keep track of their movements, military spending recently hit a new high, and the "boy who cried wolf" policy makes sick people reluctant to call an ambulance. Crime is moderate. Billeyrie's national animal is the cow, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Billeyrie is ranked 201,675th in the world and 549th in Horizon for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -1.25 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
