The Federal Republic of Badegg is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Charles Krantz with an iron fist, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 1.648 billion Badeggians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Badfish. The average income tax rate is 68.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Badeggian economy, worth 202 trillion Shiny Things a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 123,095 Shiny Things, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

Farting etiquette is taught in schools, descriptions of properties as "a stone's throw from the city centre" require a trebuchet to be true, rich people sell their mansions to pay for endless rows of mobile homes, and every product goes through extensive safety-testing by the government. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Badegg's national animal is the Egg, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Subliminality.

Badegg is ranked 105,513^th in the world and 3^rd in Great SHC Alliance for Safest, scoring 81.36 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
