The Dexterian Republic of Bawkie is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Qussan Faitamaqaj with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, lack of airports, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 7.133 billion Bawkiens are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mezqurbha Dzifatfatbawqur. The average income tax rate is 97.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Bawkien economy, worth a remarkable 1,715 trillion Bawks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 240,500 Bawks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Maximum security fish farms leave caged salmon pining for the fjords, marketing departments of corporate giants compete to sponsor little league teams, where there's a will there is usually a password manager, and ministers are now allowed to put suggestions in the governmental suggestion box. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bawkie's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Dexterism.

Bawkie is ranked 2,036^th in the world and 58^th in the South Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 26,207.91 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
