The Empire of Baba is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.481 billion Babaians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ridica. The average income tax rate is 67.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Babaian economy, worth 547 trillion kroner a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 122,124 kroner, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Ten-year-olds regularly found their own political parties, spies caught red-handed are served cocktails on their first-class flights home, crowded passenger trains are near-silent save for the soft tap of fingers on touchscreens, and couples kissing on the street are detained for 'unlawful exchange of genetic material'. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Baba's national animal is the Southern Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Baba is ranked 43,341st in the world and 18th in Sky Haven for Lowest Crime Rates, with 76.36 law-abiding acts per hour.
