The Overclockers of Bayswater is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Kernel with a fair hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, otherworldly petting zoo, and complete absence of social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 41.847 billion Bayswaterians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized government prioritizes Education, although Defense, Healthcare, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bayswater City. The average income tax rate is 96.6%.
The frighteningly efficient Bayswaterian economy, worth an astonishing 10,155 trillion bits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 242,680 bits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Big Agriculture has the government by the nuts, Kernel spends weekends doing the laundry of foreign leaders, even secular Bayswaterians are shouting "Blessed are the cheesemakers!", and passive-aggressive congratulations cards inform mums-to-be that their pregnancy is their greatest achievement in life. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bayswater's national animal is the Cat8, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Bayswater is ranked 10,256th in the world and 542nd in Balder for Most Cultured, scoring 117 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
