The Commonwealth of Bialostan is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Mark Buchanan with a fair hand, and renowned for its public floggings, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 7.607 billion Bialostanians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.
The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Neu Stettin. The average income tax rate is 81.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Bialostanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,176 trillion Bialostanian Marks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 154,720 Bialostanian Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Graverobbers claim they're acting within the interest of 'scientific preservation', the tools of the trade for landmine clearance appear to be copious amounts of gasoline and a box of matches, shopkeepers use microscopes to verify the authenticity of banknotes, and foreign despots proudly bandstand on Bialostanian airwaves. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bialostan's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Whatever-ism.
Bialostan is ranked 179,204th in the world and 7th in Omck for Most Stationary, with 79.03538691732 days.
