The Eternal City of Baghdad is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Leader with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, national health service, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 25.592 billion Baghdadians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Baghdad. The average income tax rate is 47.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Baghdadian economy, worth a remarkable 3,933 trillion Dinars a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 153,698 Dinars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Public projects are synonymous with yawn-inducing conformity, a mushroom a day keeps the sadness away, translators have been hired to deal with the varying regional accents during national political debates, and politicians are battling inequality by declaring themselves better than everyone else. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Baghdad's national animal is the Desert Fox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Baghdad is ranked 233,679th in the world and 7,171st in Balder for Most Stationary, with 23.18351294032 days.
