The Domain of Baighmsia is a huge, cultured nation, ruled by Prime Minister Webster Brierley with a fair hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, public floggings, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 971 million Baighmsians enjoy frequent elections, which are uniformly corrupted by big-spending corporations buying politicians who best suit their interests.

The relatively small, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Marphreigh. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Baighmsian economy, worth 103 trillion shillings a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 106,162 shillings, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 580,251 per year while the poor average 9,929, a ratio of 58.4 to 1.

Prime Minister Webster Brierley has just been declared ruler of Baighmsia in an international press conference, churches frequently hold public 'contraception burnings', the 'sing-a-long with Prime Minister Webster Brierley' album is a popular souvenir, and employees who skip lunch to avoid sub-par cafeteria food risk getting fired. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Baighmsia's national animal is the Hegylworth's antelope, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Baighmsia is ranked 52,612^th in the world and 189^th in Concord for Safest, scoring 101.95 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
