The Democratic Republic of North Baba is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Prime Minister Brian Triana with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, unlimited-speed roads, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 3.976 billion North Babans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Carpio. The average income tax rate is 97.0%.

The frighteningly efficient North Baban economy, worth 792 trillion people’s farthings a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 199,391 people’s farthings, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A recent political speech drew the ire of nerds everywhere after the speaker claimed that Darth Vader was Harry Potter's father, high school boys are required to pass vigorous self-mastery and sensitivity training to graduate, only lightning has a chance of striking Prime Minister Brian Triana twice, and retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. North Baba's national animal is the feather-bellied dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

North Baba is ranked 52,132^nd in the world and 1,558^th in The North Pacific for Highest Wealthy Incomes, with 235,954 Standard Monetary Units.
