The Purple Republic of Bacedo is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Intisar Vernask with an iron fist, and notable for its irreverence towards religion, suspicion of poets, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 7.025 billion Bacedoans are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chesk. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 25.7%.

The thriving Bacedoan economy, worth 537 trillion takdins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 76,517 takdins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 256,378 per year while the poor average 16,961, a ratio of 15.1 to 1.

Chesk's iconic yellow taxis are nowhere to be seen, schoolyard sandboxes resemble ashtrays due to the large number of cigarette butts, the typical murderer weighs 150kg and has hairy arms, and sick days are on the rise. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bacedo's national animal is the sable, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cult of Violet.

Bacedo is ranked 223,903^rd in the world and 10,044^th in Balder for Highest Poor Incomes, with 16,961.61 Standard Monetary Units.
