The Armed Republic of A baddon is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Mighty Fuhrer with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, humorless population of 39.695 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 13,160 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 331,550 quesaburros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children must be board certified to append "Jr" to their name, nouveau riche farmers diligently take care of their golden calf herds, buses are widely regarded as the safest way to travel, and undersea volcanoes receive strongly worded letters for violating environmental regulations. 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 42^nd in the world and 1^st in All under heaven for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 40,176.62 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
