The Republic of Baghead is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 192 million Bagheadians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 25.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Bagheadian economy, worth 6.02 trillion pounds a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Furniture Restoration, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 31,373 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Arthritic surgeons with tremulous fingers reassure patients that they are in safe hands, almost all products in Baghead are hand-crafted due to strict employment laws, much of Baghead's computer network is controlled by a rampant artificial intelligence, and neon signs promoting safe driving often distract drivers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Baghead's national animal is the panther, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Baghead is ranked 148,366^th in the world and 166^th in Karma for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 597.7 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
