The People's Dominion of Lower Baba is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Captain Delegate Yaquel Lureves with an iron fist, and renowned for its rampant corporate plagiarism, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 5.649 billion Babaians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ridica. The average income tax rate is 69.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Babaian economy, worth 735 trillion denarios a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 130,230 denarios, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The nation is famous for bravely sending wave after wave of its soldiers until the enemy runs out of bullets, any body part that can be cut off a person is no longer considered to be their property, oddly patriotic flash mobs spontaneously sing the national anthem, and the average commuter spends four hours a day driving to and from work. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lower Baba's national animal is the Southern Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Luphebalism.
Lower Baba is ranked 100,206th in the world and 1,115th in Balder for Most Stationary, with 436.54659561 days.
