The Federal Socialist Republic of Eastern Bahia is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Gabas with an iron fist, and notable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, strictly enforced bedtime, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 4.995 billion Bahians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Salvador. The average income tax rate is 8.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Eastern Bahian economy, worth 783 trillion Novos cruzados reais de réis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 156,856 Novos cruzados reais de réis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

Even snitches get stitches, in life full of care there is no time to stop and stare, both vegetables and viruses are often smuggled across the border, and fixing attendance at women's matches is a matter of "when they go low, we go high... funding". Crime is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Eastern Bahia's national animal is the Sea Lizard, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Atheism.

Eastern Bahia is ranked 755^th in the world and 27^th in the West Pacific for Most Valuable International Artwork, with 1,089.85 Bank.
