The Democratic Republic of Baembi is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 233 million Baembis love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 40.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Baembi economy, worth 10.5 trillion euns a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Trout Farming, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 44,999 euns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Calling dibs is an unalienable right, Baembi recently hosted the least successful trade negotiations since The Phantom Menace, a favorite "life hack" for gap year backpackers is to pretend to be homeless for government handouts, and tax-payers are funding ever more extravagant movie projects. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Baembi's national animal is the water deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Baembi is ranked 28,219^th in the world and 875^th in The North Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 20.14 average smiles per day.
