The Hayekist State of Eastern Bahia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Gabas with an iron fist, and notable for its deadly medical pandemics, free-roaming dinosaurs, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 11.154 billion Bahians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Salvador. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.7%.
The frighteningly efficient Eastern Bahian economy, worth a remarkable 2,620 trillion Novos cruzados roais do rois a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Gambling. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 234,938 Novos cruzados roais do rois, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,127,064 per year while the poor average 3,075, a ratio of 691 to 1.
Children's books regularly feature formerly distressed damsels suing their princes, teachers are dying as they attempt to read 500 word essays without pausing for breath, schoolboys trained in chivalry are encouraged to duel other boys for a maiden's hand, and science centers and state of the art laboratories are ubiquitous. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Eastern Bahia's national animal is the Bat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Spiritism.
Eastern Bahia is ranked 292,445th in the world and 4,753rd in the South Pacific for Most Ignorant Citizens, with 1.07 missed references per hour.
