The Feudal State of Eastern Bahia is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Gabas with an iron fist, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, sprawling nuclear power plants, and flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 10.125 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, 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 11.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Eastern Bahian economy, worth a remarkable 2,096 trillion Novos cruzados roais do rois a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Gambling. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 207,051 Novos cruzados roais do rois, with the richest citizens earning 7.9 times as much as the poorest.

Kilts and cassocks are viewed with suspicion, terrorist videos start by thanking their sponsors, historical commemorations regularly devolve into militaristic jingoism, and gangs have taken to secret handshakes after tattoos were banned. 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 274,041^st in the world and 5,134^th in the South Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 35.59 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
