The Imperial Glorious Empire of Baggieland is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by King Alswitch with an iron fist, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, absence of drug laws, and exploding hoverboards. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 16.997 billion Baggies are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hawthorn. The average income tax rate is 1.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Baggielandian economy, worth a remarkable 6,032 trillion boings a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Gambling, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 354,908 boings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Baggielandian TV is considered cruel and unusual punishment in other countries, 4-year-olds studying for their mathematics exams are anxious that they will be unemployable in adulthood if they fail, children are often punished for the sins of the fathers, and escargots have lost their charm ever since they started to be called 'cooked land snails'. Crime is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Baggieland's national animal is the throstle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Baggieland is ranked 293,003^rd in the world and 2^nd in B71 for Lowest Crime Rates, with 4.62 law-abiding acts per hour.
