The Flames of TheBalrogsWhip is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its hatred of cheese, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 15.916 billion TheBalrogsWhipians 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 enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 55.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish TheBalrogsWhipian economy, worth 292 trillion Dwarven Skulls 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, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, Uranium Mining, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. 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 18,360 Dwarven Skulls, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway, political activists are routinely executed, the government's religious works are headed by a New Age guru, and scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. TheBalrogsWhip's national animal is the Goblins, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

TheBalrogsWhip is ranked 7,777th in the world and 8th in Middle Earth for Most Stationary, with 2,659.63436033292 days.
