Overview • Factbook • Dispatches • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Dexterian Republic of Bawkie is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Nursis Noohujahar with an even hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cheerful population of 9.181 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 Healthcare. 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 2,575 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 280,552 Bawks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A stocking with a crooked seam or a tie without a full Windsor knot are grounds for instant dismissal, hidden bedroom-cams are installed to catch mothers doing their kids' homework, major boxing matches are held in government buildings, and they say that Bawkiens made a dessert and called it peace. 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 46,188^th in the world and 2,245^th in the South Pacific for Most Income Equality, scoring 62.45 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
