Balidar is a Morstaybishlian territory on mainland Gondwana, making up one of four remaining Morstaybishlian administrations on the continent, alongside Joralesia, Salisar and Kystland. A peninsula and three islands, the territory has a population of 1.51 million and an area of approximately 7,882.6 km². Balidarians live primarily within the capital city, Balidar. It is one of the richest remaining Morstaybishlian territories with a GDP per capita of 54.2 thousand KRB and a GDP of 81.95 billion KRB.
Balidar is a large contributor to oil production for Great Morstaybishlia, producing over six percent of overall Morstaybishlian oil production from its overseas oil reserves. The capital city acts as a technological hub in the Morstaybishlian world. The island of Selis is famous for the Impelanzan Castillo Balidario which dates back to the second century BCE and which is classified as a world heritage site.
For centuries, Balidar has been a point of contention between the emerging Morstaybishlian and Norgsveltian empires, though more recently Morstaybishlia has affirmed its grip in the area in agreements made after the Meremaa Civil War. The MBE keeps a large military presence in the area.
Etymology
Balidar derives its name from the Impelanzan settlements in the area, particularly on Selis Island where remains of the Castillo Balidario is found.
