The Disputed Territories of Bettongia is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Scrappy with an iron fist, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, national health service, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 45.907 billion Bettongs 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 relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Spirituality and Welfare not funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bettongia City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 59.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Bettongish economy, worth an astonishing 18,701 trillion Oats a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 407,369 Oats, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,149,915 per year while the poor average 115,522, a ratio of 10.0 to 1.

Widow Twankey complains about being "cancelled", you can be fired for dyeing grey hairs, even in a one-horse town police are as common as fleas on a stray dog, and residents of newly dried out bays live in fear of leaky dikes. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Bettongia's national animal is the Bettong, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bettongia is ranked 4,665th in the world and 65th in Osiris for Most Stationary, with 3,339.66452928 days.
