The State of Baghdad Burning is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, enforced nudity, and punitive income tax rates. The quiet, industrious population of 41.872 billion Baghdad Burningians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, although Social Policy, Welfare, and Environment are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 70.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The enormous but underdeveloped Baghdad Burningian economy, worth a remarkable 1,038 trillion crowns a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Tourism. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 24,804 crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Baghdad Burning's educational system is the envy of many and regarded as a pinnacle of educational achievement, teenagers across the country are celebrating the defeat of a national curfew bill, Max Barry is this year's Miss Baghdad Burning, and schools have extensive counseling programs for troubled students. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Baghdad Burning's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Baghdad Burning is ranked 33,572^nd in the world and 573^rd in the Rejected Realms for Largest Black Market, with 59.0 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
