The Holy Empire of Basque Federation is a mammoth, orderly nation, renowned for its frequent executions and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 5.07 billion Basques are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bilbao. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.3%.

The very strong Basque economy, worth 325 trillion pesetas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Automobile Manufacturing, and Gambling. Average income is 64,104 pesetas, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 213,361 per year while the poor average 14,351, a ratio of 14.9 to 1.

All major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, attempted suicide is punishable by public hanging, nudity is frowned upon, and Basque Federation has designated Bilbao as its capital city. Crime is moderate. Basque Federation's national animal is the latxa, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Basque Federation is ranked 114,527^th in the world and 2^nd in Corvinian Conlang Union for Most Developed, scoring 58.81 on the Human Development Index.
