The NationStates ~~TYPE~~ of A Badly Conceived Designation is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by ~~LEADER~~ with an iron fist, and renowned for its aversion to nipples, fear of technology, and hatred of cheese.

Average income is an amazing 269,437 ~~CURRENCY~~s, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A Badly Conceived Designation's national animal is the ~~ANIMAL~~, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is ~~FAITH~~.
