Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Democratic Republic of Baxingtull is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its complete lack of prisons, free-roaming dinosaurs, and compulsory vegetarianism. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 876 million Baxingtullians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. The average income tax rate is 65.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Baxingtullian economy, worth 137 trillion Eggs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Information Technology, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 156,745 Eggs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Netizens fiercely argue over who loves Leader more, calling Leader a tyrant is seen as the ultimate compliment, Eckie-Ecola has declared that their soda poop is The Real Thing, and orthopaedics patients often have a bounce in their step. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Baxingtull's national animal is the Porpoise Chicken Dinosaur Creature, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Baxingtull is ranked 21,579^th in the world and 516^th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 268.24 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
