The Most Serene Republic of Bappo is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its anti-smoking policies, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 707 million Bappoans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Administration, Healthcare, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. The average income tax rate is 54.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bappoan economy, worth 86.2 trillion Bops a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 121,967 Bops, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Representatives soak in mineral pools at the new capitol building day spa, economists speak of trusting in the Tao of Free Market Capitalism, the government is more interested in identifying problems than fixing them, and death is nobody's business. Crime is totally unknown. Bappo's national animal is the Octopus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Bappo is ranked 149,555^th in the world and 244^th in Edoca for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,012.92 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
