The Kingdom of Bhaskarius is a large, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 125 million Bhaskariusians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 82.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Bhaskariusian economy, worth 7.02 trillion Suryas a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 56,122 Suryas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government seizes the property of the recently deceased, monocled merchants with funny accents are applying for Bhaskariusian citizenship in droves, companies flee the nation rather than pay their fair share of taxes, and a tax exemption has created a new hunger for octogenarian millionaires dating women 60 years their younger. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bhaskarius's national animal is the Bhaskar Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bhaskarius is ranked 40,485th in the world and 32nd in KAISERREICH for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,252.89 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
