The Armed Republic of A baddon is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Mighty Fuhrer with an even hand, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, humorless population of 39.246 billion baddonians 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Abaddonia. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient baddonian economy, worth an astonishing 12,991 trillion quesaburros a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 331,034 quesaburros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The government is spending millions on alternative clean-burning fuels, rumor has it that Mighty Fuhrer has won three lotteries in a row, Baddonians believe manners maketh the leader, and sex offenders find themselves cut off from the ability to repeat their crimes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. A baddon's national animal is the radioactive super zomb, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

A baddon is ranked 655^th in the world and 1^st in All under heaven for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 27,047.2 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
