The Democratic Republic of North Baba is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Prime Minister Brian Triana with an iron fist, and renowned for its state-planned economy, infamous sell-swords, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 5.729 billion North Babans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Carpio. The average income tax rate is 97.9%.

The frighteningly efficient North Baban economy, worth a remarkable 1,239 trillion people’s farthings a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. Average income is an amazing 216,398 people’s farthings, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Eau de Trashcan has become a wildly popular perfume, mining safety laws are often more expensive than what's being mined, most pop videos prominently feature the North Baban flag, and artists are renowned for their ability to make art pieces out of thin air. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. North Baba's national animal is the feather-bellied dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

North Baba is ranked 27,247th in the world and 992nd in The North Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 5,217.6 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
