The Federal People's Republic of Balkanic Federation is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Chairwoman Ksenia Balosh with an iron fist, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, stringent health and safety legislation, and labour-free parental leave. The compassionate, cynical population of 3.392 billion Balkanians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Healthcare, and Welfare also on the agenda, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sarajevo. The average income tax rate is 82.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Balkanic Federationian economy, worth 238 trillion Balkanic Dinars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is 70,375 Balkanic Dinars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Mosh pits are a common phenomenon in Chairwoman Ksenia Balosh's political rallies, economic output is rising as the chronically depressed are persuaded not to burden society, the tax department is having withdrawal symptoms, and reflex hammers and sickle cell research are uniform comrades. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Balkanic Federation's national animal is the Bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Balkanic Federation is ranked 201,522^nd in the world and 376^th in The Communist Bloc for Highest Drug Use, scoring 97.17 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
