The Sultanate of Bawland is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Leader with a fair hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 19.926 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and the Environment. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bawland City. The average income tax rate is 88%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

The airship business has been driven out of the country by strict regulations and high fines, the "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The Bawland City Times is sold out, students cut up leftover haws during Arts and Crafts, and prisoners work-share to cut down rising costs of keeping them in jail. Crime is well under control, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bawland's national animal is the wild booby, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the haw.

Bawland is ranked 1st in Seven Eleven and 97,441st in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -6 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
