The Jiving Jungle of Baloo Kingdom is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by King Baloo von Bruinwald XIII with an even hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, triple-decker prams, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 9.276 billion Balooites enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Baloo Kingdom City. The average income tax rate is 97.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Balooite economy, worth a remarkable 1,356 trillion Prickly Pears a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Furniture Restoration, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 146,260 Prickly Pears, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is illegal for police officers to carry out searches due to strict privacy laws, up to 40% of voters can finally read the issues they're deciding on, tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests, and armed war-criminals gain asylum if deemed 'fabulous' enough. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Baloo Kingdom's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Lutheran Christianity.

Baloo Kingdom is ranked 255,876^th in the world and 82^nd in Callista for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -7.3 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
