The Armed Republic of A baddon is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Mighty Fuhrer with an even hand, and renowned for its national health service, public floggings, and daily referendums. The compassionate, humorless population of 39.553 billion baddonians 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Abaddonia. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient baddonian economy, worth an astonishing 13,106 trillion quesaburros a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 331,360 quesaburros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Roads are often attended by round-the-clock construction crews, class clowns are frequently listed among the most dangerous criminals in the nation, the long arm of the law possesses a rather slow hand, and artists are pillars of society. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. A baddon's national animal is the radioactive super zomb, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

A baddon is ranked 244^th in the world and 1^st in All under heaven for Highest Economic Output, with 13,106 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
