The Republic of South Baba is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Prime Minister Alden Ridgeway with a fair hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, infamous sell-swords, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 9.473 billion South Babans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bocaugh. The average income tax rate is 98.3%.

The frighteningly efficient South Baban economy, worth a remarkable 1,996 trillion farthings a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 210,733 farthings, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pranking is an art form, hidden bedroom-cams are installed to catch mothers doing their kids' homework, people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, and bris parties are all the rage. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. South Baba's national animal is the dove, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

South Baba is ranked 9,391^st in the world and 288^th in The North Pacific for Highest Average Incomes, with 210,733.34 Standard Monetary Units.
