The Democratic States of Bavo is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Zig with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.37 billion Bavoes love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bavois. The average income tax rate is 77.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bavoan economy, worth 689 trillion Bavois a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 108,181 Bavois, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nuclear physics is the most popular course at university, government officials sit helplessly as they are labelled 'Pompous Womples' by celebrities, all tribal children are set for life with guaranteed government jobs, and traveller camps regularly block five-lane superhighways. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bavo's national animal is the Racoon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bavo is ranked 55,902^nd in the world and 25^th in Cape of Good Hope for Highest Average Incomes, with 108,181.86 Standard Monetary Units.
