The Republic of Basiliania is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Basilianian Government with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 17.876 billion Basilianians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aequalitas. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient Basilianian economy, worth a remarkable 3,364 trillion Basilianums a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 188,203 Basilianums, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The nation's democracy attracts huddled masses yearning to breathe free, visitors often mistake the toiletplex at music festivals for the main stage, lovesick people are told 'it's not them, it's you', and law schools are hurrying to teach the "prank defense" to their students. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Basiliania's national animal is the dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Basiliania is ranked 935th in the world and 5th in Democratic Socialist Assembly for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 81.97 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
