The Autonomous Community of Ballzia is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Dave with a fair hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, ritual sacrifices, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 19.767 billion Ballzacks 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 medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alcázar. The average income tax rate is 87.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ballzian economy, worth a remarkable 3,190 trillion pesos a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 161,384 pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

In coastal waters there are fifteen salvage divers per dead man's chest (yo ho ho), the nation's smallest Salamanderball teams trade draft picks for a free lunch, stealing from a clothesline is a serious offence, and nude art is becoming wildly popular. Crime is totally unknown. Ballzia's national animal is the Salamander, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Ballzia is ranked 314,669^th in the world and 422^nd in United Kingdom for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring -13.23 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
