The Dexterian Republic of Bawkie is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Sasna Daisaharim with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cheerful population of 13.29 billion Bawkiens are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mezqurbha Dzifatfatbawqur. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Bawkien economy, worth a remarkable 4,530 trillion Bawks a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 340,864 Bawks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The tax agency is feared more than serial killers and terrorists, contemporary art museums showcase the latest in centuries-old art, the nation's generous tax credits have brought all the film studios to the yard, and only native-born Bawkiens who have never left the nation are permitted to run for office. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bawkie's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Dexterism.

Bawkie is ranked 70^th in the world and 1^st in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 297.94 law-abiding acts per hour.
