The Socialist Federation of Balkanturistan is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Council of the Four Municipalities with a fair hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, lack of airports, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.954 billion Balkanturisti are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nathalion. The average income tax rate is 91.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Balkanturist economy, worth 707 trillion Marxes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 101,712 Marxes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children are disappointed their allowances are no longer convertible to gold, spoiler warnings are now given out before political speeches, there is a growing belief that consciousness is a simulated illusion within a computer-generated reality, and re-education centers are being added to most prisons. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Balkanturistan's national animal is the Boyko, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Backgammon.

Balkanturistan is ranked 38,713th in the world and 22nd in The Free Nations Region for Most Stationary, with 1,174.887616127 days.
