The Naked Singularity of Basque Dominion is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Sabino Arana with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, ban on automobiles, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working population of 7.809 billion Basques enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Iruñea. The average income tax rate is 11.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Basque economy, worth a remarkable 1,292 trillion euskoes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 165,486 euskoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Every week is blindness awareness week, computer users are buried daily in thousands of unsolicited emails, marijuana is legal in the privacy of your own home, and the military is vetting the political loyalties of its remaining officers. Crime is totally unknown. Basque Dominion's national animal is the arrano beltza, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is the Unrelenting Basqueness.

Basque Dominion is ranked 97,229^th in the world and 372^nd in Europe for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,940.17 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
