The Commonwealth of Bassoe is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Lord Samuel with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, rampant corporate plagiarism, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cheerful population of 19.662 billion Bassoeans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Industry, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of hanoverania. The average income tax rate is 96.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Bassoean economy, worth a remarkable 5,413 trillion gold standards a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 275,305 gold standards, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Friendly fire incidents usually result in severe burns, those who cut young children are told to cut it out, reflection is vital for badly behaved politicians, and it's said that Lord Samuel can turn every pleasure into a chore. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bassoe's national animal is the dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bassoe is ranked 115,439^th in the world and 5,439^th in Balder for Most Corrupt Governments, with 8.62 kickbacks per hour.
