The Trade Empire Confederacy of Bakivaland is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by State Minister Juniper Hans with an even hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 5.339 billion Bakivi enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Norrhammar. The average income tax rate is 71.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bakivish economy, worth 733 trillion Bakivish Kroner a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 137,408 Bakivish Kroner, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

The government props up questionable pizza establishments in the name of health, search-and-rescue organisations are the biggest employer in the country, the Foreign Ministry thinks an eye for an eye is a blindingly good idea, and the first step of recovery from alcoholism usually entails buying a bicycle. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bakivaland's national animal is the Cardinal and its national religion is None.

Bakivaland is ranked 71,419^th in the world and 3,956^th in Osiris for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 3,996.27 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
