The Theocracy of Balar is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its frequent executions, prohibition of alcohol, and daily referendums. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 3.644 billion Balarians are known throughout the region for their efficiency and work ethic, as well as their general suspicion of leisure.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 30.0%.

The strong Balarian economy, worth 197 trillion Waters a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Automobile Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 54,276 Waters, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

No one gossips with Leader during diplomatic summits, citizens are exhausted from weekly general elections, members of the government all have oddly similar anecdotes about their childhoods, and safety warnings are prohibited lest they give people ideas. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Balar's national animal is the Dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Balar is ranked 87,490^th in the world and 1^st in Beleriand for Lowest Crime Rates, with 67.54 law-abiding acts per hour.
