The Free Land of Bisexual Lighting is a mammoth, safe nation, remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 5.069 billion bisexuals have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and look forward to their next free and open election, to be held on an as-yet unannounced date.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Social Policy. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bone Town. The average income tax rate is 34.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The bisexual economy, worth 233 trillion lemon bars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 45,966 lemon bars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The internet has been placed under government control, one of the nation's leading exports is empty platitudes, people are more interested in gossip about the private lives of politicians than their policies, and gossip magazines are more interested in astrological stars than celebrity ones. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bisexual Lighting's national animal is the bicon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bisexual Lighting is ranked 85,794^th in the world and 9^th in The Confederacy of Dunces for Largest Black Market, with 3.58 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
