The Commonwealth of Baqar is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its daily referendums, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 2.917 billion Baqari are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Madau. The average income tax rate is 73.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Baqari economy, worth 156 trillion Dams a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Information Technology. Average income is 53,480 Dams, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Strict term limits have been applied to all elected offices, museums stand half-empty as all foreign exhibits are returned to their countries of origin, old people living in plastic bubbles complain about a new type of social isolation, and exterminators swarm Baqari homes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Baqar's national animal is the Commonwealth Flower, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Caoism.

Baqar is ranked 21,997^th in the world and 57^th in The Western Isles for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 3,167.42 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
