The Interstellar Union of Bavaristan is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Jovan Smith with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 7.804 billion Bavaristanis are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tiflyang Sector. The average income tax rate is 98.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Bavaristanian economy, worth a remarkable 2,194 trillion Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 281,186 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Creative compliance measures ensure that high-ranking officials live in luxury while the country's coffers collect cobwebs, it's illegal to be caught on tape, the ongoing space elevator construction project has elevated the national debt to all new levels, and heartfelt sentiments are mercilessly marketed by a million-Credit treacle machine. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bavaristan's national animal is the Tyranid, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Bavaristan is ranked 93,007^th in the world and 1,911^th in the South Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 575.56 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
