The Rogue Nation of Baznania is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, public floggings, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.581 billion Baznanians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 69.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Baznanian economy, worth a remarkable 2,523 trillion Fruizlhiaus a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 332,900 Fruizlhiaus, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

Leader is called 'Patches' at international summits, interviewees for teaching jobs are waterboarded to "reveal undesirable histories", kids are arrested at gunpoint for playing with toy rifles, and flatulent people are left to die of cancer at the end of hospital waiting lists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Baznania's national animal is the Fruit Dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Baznania is ranked 136,119^th in the world and 91^st in Worlds of Colors for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 2,076.36 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
