The Republic of Biswa is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Biswajeet Naik with an iron fist, and notable for its avant-garde cinema, free-roaming dinosaurs, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.312 billion Biswans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Balangir. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 71.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Biswan economy, worth 288 trillion BNS 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 slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 an impressive 124,872 BNS, with the richest citizens earning 5.9 times as much as the poorest.

Punk-rockers and girl-bands are united in their loss of fashion statements, it can be a real jungle in a modern courtroom, acrimonious legal battles result during divorce proceedings, and only lightning has a chance of striking Biswajeet Naik twice. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Biswa's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Hindu.

Biswa is ranked 305,228^th in the world and 69^th in India for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 42.61 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
