The Wandering Samurai of Baiken is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Baiken with a fair hand, and notable for its daily referendums, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 5.158 billion Baikenians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gebra. The average income tax rate is 9.6%.

The powerhouse Baikenian economy, worth 512 trillion yen a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is 99,442 yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

The government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one, the nation was recently voted "most likely to betray its allies", babies are a small but significant export, and sports fans complain that cricket tests now last an unbearable ten days. Crime is totally unknown. Baiken's national animal is the dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Violetism.

Baiken is ranked 115,042^nd in the world and 2,034^th in Ambition for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 148.3 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
