The Principality of Baraga is a large, efficient nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 73 million Baragans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny government prioritizes Welfare, although Education, Defense, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and Environment are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.4%.

The very strong Baragan economy, worth 4.80 trillion dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is 65,743 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 8.4 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Baraga's national animal is the donald dump.

Baraga is ranked 259,753^rd in the world and 14^th in Michigan for Largest Populations, with 73.0 million capita.
