The Queen's State of Bala Copan is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its complete lack of public education, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 24.938 billion Bala Copanians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, liberal government is solely concerned with Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.2%.

The very strong Bala Copanian economy, worth 498 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is highly specialized and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Book Publishing, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 19,994 betales, with the richest citizens earning 6.8 times as much as the poorest.

Voting is voluntary. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Bala Copan's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bala Copan is ranked 264,585^th in the world and 8^th in Budapest for Lowest Crime Rates, with 42.09 law-abiding acts per hour.
