The Greater State of Bakyern 2 is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Stafen Ovost with an even hand, and notable for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 8.526 billion Bakyernians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kalvat. The average income tax rate is 46.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Bakyernian economy, worth 606 trillion Estiimarkas a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 71,092 Estiimarkas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There's more hugging than talking in most talk shows, clergy who start talking about politics are forced to take a holy vow of silence, Calvinball players are lost for days as they wander the vast halls of their new academies, and the national anthem is a rather effective sleeping aid. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bakyern 2's national animal is the Raccoon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bakyern 2 is ranked 77,358^th in the world and 4,364^th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 68.93 law-abiding acts per hour.
