The Beauty Land of Bilsa is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Bolbon with an iron fist, and renowned for its remarkably easy parental licensing program, public floggings, and lack of airports. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 22.039 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 is primarily concerned with Environment, although Industry and Healthcare are also considered important, while Welfare and Education are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cecims. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 77.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Bilsan economy, worth a remarkable 3,590 trillion Bists a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Gambling. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 162,913 Bists, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 524,828 per year while the poor average 38,274, a ratio of 13.7 to 1.

Sermons are regularly interrupted by businessmen taking phone calls, EpiPen sales have skyrocketed, atheism is seen as a prerequisite for political power, and aides are afraid to ask if Bolbon wants a cup of tea or coffee. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-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 79,035th in the world and 177th in Forest for Highest Poor Incomes, with 38,274.41 Standard Monetary Units.
