The Most Serene Republic of Bappo is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 712 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, with Administration, Healthcare, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. The average income tax rate is 56.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bappoan economy, worth 87.5 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 122,823 Bops, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Insurance companies charge extortionate premiums to cover homes near waterways, barbed wire entanglements and guard towers surround the Bappo City Natural History Museum, the team in charge of creating a new writing system have spent months deciding whether or not to use serif or sans-serif characters, and the recycled air in planes is nauseating. Crime is totally unknown. Bappo's national animal is the Octopus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Bappo is ranked 11,044^th in the world and 11^th in Edoca for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 62.47 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
