The Imperial Glorious Empire of Baggieland is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by King Alswitch with an iron fist, and renowned for its feral children, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 17.137 billion Baggies are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hawthorn. The average income tax rate is 1.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Baggielandian economy, worth a remarkable 6,119 trillion boings a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Gambling, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 357,083 boings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Relations with Dàguó have warmed from frosty to chilly, the nation is renowned abroad for its love of blood and guts, Throstle is one of the most popular forenames in Baggieland, and the nation refuses to provide international aid. Crime is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Baggieland's national animal is the throstle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Baggieland is ranked 285,621st in the world and 2nd in B71 for Safest, scoring 3.01 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
