The Republic of Bavaristan is a huge, orderly nation, ruled by great George the Saviour with an iron fist, and notable for its pith helmet sales, anti-smoking policies, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 932 million Bavaristanians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tiflyang. The average income tax rate is 38.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Bavaristanian economy, worth 57.3 trillion AUS a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 61,496 AUS, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Prison visits increase substantially during election years, priests are being drafted by the church load, the nation has always been at war with Bigtopia, and telling someone to 'break a leg' is considered a criminal inducement to self harm. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bavaristan's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bavaristan is ranked 87,574^th in the world and 2,988^th in the South Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 2,343.65 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
