Background: Low-weight atoms originating from the sudden, rapid outward expansion of time and the universe (See CIA World Factbook: Universe) gathered for billions of years in vast transluscent clouds, gradually condensing under the power of gravity to form heavenly bodies (See: star, planet). Likely contained in a fast-moving body of stone which collided with planet Earth, Carbon, Hydrogen and other elements came together under the light of the nearest star, beginning a complex series of chemical bonds that resulted in continuous and self-sustaining reactions known as "life." Through the emergent phenomenon known as the "life cycle," atoms were recycled for approximately the next billion years through a variety of "life forms," eventually coming together by chance to form the sovereign nation Bitriot.

*Notable exception: In the winter of 1993, the province of Lungs experienced a deluge and the country's mean temperature elevated to 105°F following a large influx of the influenza pathogen, originating from the Nasal Passages region of nearby nation Jenny Saucedo.

Terrain: Terrain within Bitriot varies greatly, from smooth venal tissue, rough and tube-shaped terrain located within Lower Intestine, and the arid, unworkable land of Bones. Overall, inland terrain tends toward a softer constitution while border lands and more arid and rough.

Elevation extremes:
Highest point: Head (the elevation of which fluxuates, calculated by adding six feet one inch to the elevation of the surrounding countryside) (2006)
Lowest point: Feet (calculated by adding space between atoms to elevation of surrounding countryside)

Land use:
Arable land: N/A%
Permanent crops: Chitin, salt, acid, carbon dioxide
Permanent pastures: N/A% (the country is in a state of constant flux, resulting in a new countryside approximately every 15-20 years)
Forests and woodland: Chitinous stems manufactured in Hair Follicle facilities populate nearly the total area of the border province Skin
Irrigated Land: 0 sq km

Economy - overview:
The economy of Bitriot is dynamic and complex, wherein each ethnic group trades a different currency. The market of red blood cells is dominated by oxygen and plasma, while osteoblasts deposit sums of powerful acid to derive units of Calcium exclusively from the province Bone. In the region of Stomach, dominated by an enormous pool of acid, the currency is dead matter, most notably roast beef. The long, winding province of Nervous System exchanges small sums of neurotransmitter in a rapid sequence in which no sum is lost or gained.
