The Disputed Territories of The Bureaucratic Territories is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Overlord with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic population of 17.299 billion Measured Men hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal government is primarily concerned with Education, although Healthcare, Industry, and Environment are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District 1. The average income tax rate is 94.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Weighed and Measured economy, worth a remarkable 3,174 trillion Favours a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 183,490 Favours, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The acceptance of acupuncture and other alternative therapies has needled the scientific community, kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll, older citizens lament over the loss of law and order, and fixing attendance at women's matches is a matter of "when they go low, we go high... funding". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. The Bureaucratic Territories's national animal is the Mutated Platypus, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

The Bureaucratic Territories is ranked 4,701^st in the world and 244^th in The North Pacific for Highest Poor Incomes, with 149,815.45 Standard Monetary Units.
