The Imperial Glorious Empire of Baggieland is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by King Alswitch with an iron fist, and remarkable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, free-roaming dinosaurs, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 14.665 billion Baggies 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hawthorn. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 2.5%.
The frighteningly efficient Baggielandian economy, worth a remarkable 5,054 trillion boings a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Gambling, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 344,649 boings, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.
One-stop superstores divide and conquer family businesses, a child's only Trickster Night scare is the sight of their parents dancing, there has been a series of riots between local cannibals and health food advocates, and Hawthorn's main city thoroughfare has been blocked by a row of leyland cypresses that mysteriously appeared overnight. Crime is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Baggieland's national animal is the throstle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Baggieland is ranked 369th in the world and 1st in B71 for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 29,649.64 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
