The Dexterian Republic of Bawkie is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Hommas Moiqawiner with an even hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, smutty television, and frequent executions. The compassionate, devout population of 5.117 billion Bawkiens are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized 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 84.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bawkien economy, worth a remarkable 1,040 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 203,438 Bawks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

EpiPen sales have skyrocketed, unshaven men are viewed with suspicion in courts of law, every week is blindness awareness week, and write-in candidate 'Hommas Moiqawiner Sucks' is perennially popular. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable 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 56,196^th in the world and 2,254^th in the South Pacific for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 3,487.1 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
