The Free Land of Based is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its burgeoning Elephant population. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 8.823 billion Basedians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 15.7%.

The Basedian economy, worth 415 trillion golds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 47,148 golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is moderate. Based's national animal is the Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Based is ranked 103,760^th in the world and 10^th in Institute of Cellulose for Largest Black Market, with 2.32 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
