The Oppressed Peoples of Bad Gateway is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 660 million Baddies are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of 404 Not Found. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 42.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Bad Gatewayian economy, worth 60.8 trillion Cloudflares a year, is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is 92,136 Cloudflares, with the richest citizens earning 5.7 times as much as the poorest.

Yawning is a sure sign of unemployment, citizens need a magnifying glass and color chart to distinguish between nearly identical brand labels, party-lovers often change religions just for the weekend, and a favorite "life hack" for gap year backpackers is to pretend to be homeless for government handouts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bad Gateway's national animal is the Crocodile.

Bad Gateway is ranked 130,635^th in the world and 634^th in the Outback for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,236.64 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
