The Most Serene Republic of Baunihia is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, ubiquitous missile silos, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed population of 179 million Baunihians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 47.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Baunihian economy, worth 12.9 trillion currencies a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 71,843 currencies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Elevator music has been replaced by thrash metal played at maximum volume, 1% of global paper production is bound for the National Archive, the nationalistic national anthem inspires citizens to literally spit at foreigners, and Widow Twankey complains about being "cancelled". Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Baunihia's national animal is the swan, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Baunihia is ranked 170,174^th in the world and 192^nd in Commonwealth of Sovereign States for Most Conservative, scoring 54.25 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
