The Ginseng Strip 2002 of Baja Calivada is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Jeane Santángel with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 6.028 billion Californian enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sacramento. The average income tax rate is 80.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Californian economy, worth 709 trillion Cali Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Book Publishing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 117,770 Cali Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Books are so highly regarded in Baja Calivada that libraries are often revered as holy shrines, the new "Bloodbath" orange tree autonomously seeks and destroys independent orchards, citizens are regularly arrested in queues for 'loitering', and offering a builder a cup of tea is a legal minefield. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Baja Calivada's national animal is the Tupla, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Scientology.

Baja Calivada is ranked 30,994^th in the world and 1,107^th in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 82.14 law-abiding acts per hour.
