The Democratic Republic of Badook is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its deadly medical pandemics, frequent executions, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 13.624 billion Badookians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The minute, liberal government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, although Spirituality is also considered important, while Social Policy and Welfare are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.4%.

The strong Badookian economy, worth 999 trillion Dooks a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Soda Sales, and Gambling. Average income is 73,399 Dooks, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 327,360 per year while the poor average 10,224, a ratio of 32.0 to 1.

Fur coats have become the latest fashion trend, belief that Leader is a lizard-person from outer space has reached an all-time high, signs saying "No Poor People or Weirdoes" are common outside shops and cafés, and politicians always seem to take two steps forward then three steps back. Crime is pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Badook's national animal is the Horse, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Badook is ranked 255,430^th in the world and 10,869^th in Osiris for Highest Poor Incomes, with 10,224.76 Standard Monetary Units.
