The Ursae Majoris of Bilabao is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Krling Eagge with an iron fist, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, lack of airports, and national health service. The hard-nosed, cynical, cheerful population of 49.931 billion Bilabaons 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 enormous, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Environment, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of North Pole. The average income tax rate is 67.7%.
The thriving Bilabaoan economy, worth a remarkable 3,346 trillion icicles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Retail, Book Publishing, Cheese Exports, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 67,028 icicles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.
Soldiers have swapped their uniforms for prisonwear, prosecutors accuse General Tso of monopolizing the lunch market, emergency vehicles have built-in nudge bars to give uncooperative drivers a "gentle" push, and government employees from Bilabao dominate international lumberjack competitions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bilabao's national animal is the polar bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Bilabao is ranked 10,925th in the world and 3rd in The Arctic for Most Secular, with 91.85 Atheism Rate.
