Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Federation of Bailey Rae is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its hatred of cheese. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 2.028 billion live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, liberal, pro-business individuals juggles the competing demands of Commerce, Education, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hodge Hieghts. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3%. A robust private sector is led by the Uranium Mining industry, followed by Arms Manufacturing and Basket Weaving.

Citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, all tariffs have been abolished, the land is famous throughout the region for its rampant lawlessness, and Bailey Rae has designated Hodge Hieghts as its capital city. Crime is crippling, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Bailey Rae's national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the dollar.

Bailey Rae is ranked 497th in Galapagos and 84,454th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -3 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
