The Empire of Bistrostan is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Leader with an even hand, and notable for its national health service, compulsory military service, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 43.311 billion Bistrostanians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bistrostan City. The average income tax rate is 90.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bistrostanian economy, worth an astonishing 21,416 trillion drachmas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 494,486 drachmas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Handling people's data is proving an immersive experience, 4-year-olds are often found reminiscing about the 'good old days', sworn provincial enemies must be held back in Leader's cabinet meetings, and a degree in Leader Science with a Minor in Awesomeology starts many political careers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Bistrostan's national animal is the cheetah, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Bistrostan is ranked 283,617^th in the world and 1^st in The GameFAQs Forum for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring -21.73 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
