The Democracy of Baybay is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by baybay the third with an even hand, and remarkable for its soft-spoken computers, daily referendums, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 7.303 billion Baybayians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of belesi. The average income tax rate is 90.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Baybayian economy, worth a remarkable 1,277 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 174,922 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The "swords to plowshares" policy has created a generation of farmers that can kill a yak from 200 yards away, public parks are littered with cigarette butts, the nation's generous tax credits have brought all the film studios to the yard, and organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Baybay's national animal is the Tona bird, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Baybay is ranked 24,041^st in the world and 665^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Patriotic, with 43.31 flags saluted per person per day.
