The Oppressed Peoples of Bad Gateway is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its lack of airports, parental licensing program, and fear of technology. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 752 million Baddies are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of 404 Not Found. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 50.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Bad Gatewayian economy, worth 71.8 trillion Cloudflares a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is 95,457 Cloudflares, with the richest citizens earning 5.8 times as much as the poorest.

Proprietary charger leads are now a pain for electric cars as well as cellphones, pro-democracy regime change has been avoided, people who make the leader's blood boil get boiled, and minefields are being deployed along the border to discourage potential emigrants from trying to leave. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bad Gateway's national animal is the Crocodile, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Bad Gateway is ranked 101,441^st in the world and 508^th in the Outback for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 1,964.19 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
