The Grand Duchy of Bavarea is a very large, genial nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and compulsory military service. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 197 million Bavareans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Welfare, with Education, Industry, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Environment and International Aid are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 17.8%.

The thriving Bavarean economy, worth 10.7 trillion rubles a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is 54,190 rubles, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 161,484 per year while the poor average 14,244, a ratio of 11.3 to 1.

Students are explicitly allowed to write answers on their forearms before exams, the nation was recently voted "most likely to betray its allies", preservative-laden Bavarean cheeses will be as edible when archaeologists dig them up next millennium, and there's a bustling black market for vegetables. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Bavarea's national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Bavarea is ranked 134,309^th in the world and 5,172^nd in Balder for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,115.94 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
