The Colony of BLL33 is a titanic, genial nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The democratic population of 10.578 billion BLL33ians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 16.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient BLL33ian economy, worth 407 trillion Citas a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 38,430 Citas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. BLL33's national animal is the Vippertooth Dragon.

BLL33 is ranked 134,173^rd in the world and 1^st in Black Brigades for Smartest Citizens, with 31.9 quips per hour.
