The Republic of Bai Lung is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Lin Zhang with an iron fist, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, unlimited-speed roads, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 33.513 billion Bai Lungeses are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The tiny, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pyongjing. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Bai Lungian economy, worth an astonishing 14,767 trillion Bai Lungese Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an amazing 440,647 Bai Lungese Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, citizens are regularly arrested in queues for 'loitering', waste is frequently shipped to other countries, and mining is the nation's most dangerous occupation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Bai Lung's national animal is the Tiger Pig and Man, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Bai Lung is ranked 214,828^th in the world and 7,249^th in The East Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -278.98 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
