The Holy Empire of Bilu is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Professor Poopy Pants with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, parental licensing program, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 3.432 billion Biluans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fishy Valley Forest. The average income tax rate is 35.6%.

The powerhouse Biluan economy, worth 331 trillion Imperial Boobs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 96,634 Imperial Boobs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Talkative students are escorted from schools in second-hand prison buses, broken suspension systems are giving auto repair shops plenty of business, extraordinary rendition is nothing out of the ordinary, and the running costs of homeless shelters are so high that it would be cheaper to buy houses for the homeless. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bilu's national animal is the Greater Spotted Trouser Snake, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Bilu is ranked 45,464^th in the world and 4^th in The Fellowship of Free Nations for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 160.38 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
