The State of Bailey Reef is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 27.633 billion Baileymen live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.4%.

The thriving Bailey Reefian economy, worth a remarkable 1,091 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 39,497 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 111,494 per year while the poor average 11,200, a ratio of 10.0 to 1.

Voting is voluntary and Bailey Reef has designated District City as its capital city. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Bailey Reef's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bailey Reef is ranked 201,367^th in the world and 7^th in 000000 for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring zero on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
