About
Bilestan and the Bilestani People refers to an imaginary country and its people, getting its namesake from the Instagram irony meme page bileboye (@bileboye) whose followers began posting comments that referenced Bilestan, the Bilestani people and their nemeses, the Moghdari people from Moghdar, starting in mid-2022. In 2023, verbose Bilestan comments spread across Instagram's Hood Irony community, resulting in curiosity about Bilestan's origin.
