The Interstellar Union of Bavaristan is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Jovan Smith with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, avowedly heterosexual populace, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 7.785 billion Bavaristanis are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tiflyang Sector. The average income tax rate is 98.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Bavaristanian economy, worth a remarkable 2,182 trillion Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 280,381 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Colonials are offended to find a local animal has been re-named the 'Furry Four-Legged Marsupial Tyranid', no one believes anything until it has been strenuously tested and peer-reviewed, pharmaceutical companies emphatically promise that "your pills are in the mail" rather than admit any supply shortfall, and citizens simply have to point a weapon at a government official to get what they want. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bavaristan's national animal is the Tyranid, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Bavaristan is ranked 9,302^nd in the world and 220^th in the South Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 11,550.28 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
