The Federal People's Republic of Balkanic Federation is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Chairwoman Ksenia Balosh with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory vegetarianism, ubiquitous missile silos, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, cynical population of 3.252 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 juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sarajevo. The average income tax rate is 82.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Balkanic Federationian economy, worth 210 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 major contributions from Trout Farming, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is 64,595 Balkanic Dinars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Catching an old friend by surprise on the street can be a shocking experience, saying 'Hi Guys' to a mixed gender group of people at work is a fireable offense, frat-house partying has become the national pastime, and finders keepers is the law of the land. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Balkanic Federation's national animal is the Bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Balkanic Federation is ranked 114,283^rd in the world and 415^th in The Communist Bloc for Highest Average Incomes, with 64,595.26 Standard Monetary Units.
