The Federated Twin City-Communes of Babylon and Ur is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Mister Awesomeawesome with a fair hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, daily referendums, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 13.601 billion Babylonians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Babylon. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Babylonian economy, worth a remarkable 3,734 trillion Copper Ingots a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 274,556 Copper Ingots, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

An increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents, trains and passengers alike are often late, the official Babylonian Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child, and the government supplies ragtag bands of resistance fighters in exchange for vague promises of future payment. Crime is totally unknown. Babylon and Ur's national animal is the Red Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Babylon and Ur is ranked 12,888^th in the world and 63^rd in 10000 Islands for Most Patriotic, with 57.68 flags saluted per person per day.
