The Democratic States of Ballisticclan is a huge, orderly nation, notable for its absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 919 million Ballisticclanians are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The relatively small, liberal, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.7%.

The strong Ballisticclanian economy, worth 50.1 trillion deniers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Cheese Exports, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 54,518 deniers, with the richest citizens earning 6.8 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is a problem. Ballisticclan's national animal is the turtle, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

Ballisticclan is ranked 101,848^th in the world and 1^st in Matarranya for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 3,282.5 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
