The Imperial Glorious Empire of Baggieland is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by King Alswitch with an even hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, irreverence towards religion, and labour-free parental leave. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 21.67 billion Baggies are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hawthorn. The average income tax rate is 1.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Baggielandian economy, worth a remarkable 8,109 trillion boings a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Gambling, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an amazing 374,207 boings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Diplomats expel enough hot air to cause forest fires, students eagerly await homework from their gaming class, citizens living in underground cities have developed a healthy green glow, and "The Pride of the Baggielandian Skies" boasts an impressive 17 propellers and runs on turnip oil. Crime is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Baggieland's national animal is the throstle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Baggieland is ranked 206,670th in the world and 7,939th in Osiris for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -1.79 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
