The State of Bakpak is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Liard with an even hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates and irreverence towards religion. The quiet, industrious population of 14.7 billion Bakpakians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District City. The average income tax rate is 23.5%.

The Bakpakian economy, worth 643 trillion betales a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Information Technology, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 43,808 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

A historic rise in the minimum wage has crushed the economy with inflation, the moral worth of national allies is judged by their GDP, teddy bears and pajamas have replaced briefcases and suits in Bakpak's offices, and major cities are suffering under water rationing. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bakpak's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Bakpak is ranked 170,442^nd in the world and 1^st in the Republic of Burkina Faso for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 32.33 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
