The Empire of Baba is a mammoth, cultured nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 9.704 billion Babaians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ridica. The average income tax rate is 73.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Babaian economy, worth a remarkable 1,179 trillion kroner a year, is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 121,569 kroner, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Civil engineers are undermining sinkholes, dissing one's former country is a prerequisite to apply for Babaian citizenship, raccoons are plump and satiated, and residents are readily ratting out rats in restaurants. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Baba's national animal is the Southern Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Baba is ranked 10,672^nd in the world and 7^th in Sky Haven for Most Cultured, scoring 111 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
