The Bolbonopolitan Land of Bilsa is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Bolbon with an iron fist, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, hatred of cheese, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 16.948 billion Bilsans 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Environment, with Education, Industry, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Welfare and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cecims. The average income tax rate is 82.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bilsan economy, worth a remarkable 2,654 trillion Bists a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 156,612 Bists, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Dangerous criminals are often 'accidentally' sent on one-way trips to Maxtopia, the letters L, G, and B must never be grouped together, the national arsenal is full of sound and fury signifying nothing, and heart attack victims are thrown onto the rails. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Bilsa's national animal is the Bubu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Suraj.

Bilsa is ranked 287,232^nd in the world and 294^th in Forest for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -17.96 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
