The Great Empire of Bachok is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Empress Paduka Cik Siti with an iron fist, and renowned for its parental licensing program, unlimited-speed roads, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 9.463 billion Oghes are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jelasin Fort. The average income tax rate is 62.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bachokian economy, worth a remarkable 2,660 trillion Riyals a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 281,098 Riyals, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Bachok Barrier Island residents anxiously await their 'Bridge to Somewhere', autocrats are persona non grata, the government mails weekly updates on the new anti-junk mail laws to every citizen, and political spontaneity takes a lot of planning. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bachok's national animal is the Kijang, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Bachok is ranked 141,960^th in the world and 11^th in Mandalanusa for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 893.08 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
