The Kingdom of Bakey is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed population of 113 million are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 29%, but much higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Pizza Delivery, Woodchip Exports, and Arms Manufacturing industries.

Fur coats have become the latest fashion trend, drug distribution is tightly controlled by the government, teenagers are sent to jail for being out too late, and people who are terrified of needles are torn between their phobia and free health care. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bakey's national animal is the graal, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the lupor.
