The Federal Republic of The Free State of Bavaria is a massive, devout nation, ruled by Chancellor Konrad Adenauer with a fair hand, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 1.554 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large government is mainly concerned with Defence, although Law & Order and Religion & Spirituality are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Preston. The average income tax rate is 14%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing industries.

School uniforms are compulsory, rag-wearing teachers are often mistaken for homeless people, houses and businesses are bulldozed to make way for ever-expanding cemeteries, and business is adjusting to new gender equality policies in the workplace. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Free State of Bavaria's national animal is the Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is secular with a Catholic majority, and its currency is the Dollar.

The Free State of Bavaria is ranked 32nd in Libertatem and 17,231st in the world for Largest Mining Sector, scoring 4 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
