The United States of Bakestate is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Lady Cheesecake with an iron fist, and renowned for its digital currency, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.471 billion Bakestateans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cookacupcake. The average income tax rate is 63.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bakestatean economy, worth 188 trillion cookies a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 128,313 cookies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Shady doctors seem to have impeccable records, all footpaths have tollbooths, cheese lovers have a case of the bleus, and the nation's forests are full of treasure hunters in military-grade survival gear. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bakestate's national animal is the Brownie Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bakestate is ranked 253,847^th in the world and 12,317^th in The North Pacific for Fattest Citizens, with 6.92 Obesity Rate.
