The Woah of Bait-Chan is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Bait-Chan with a fair hand, and remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 12.409 billion Bait-Chanians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bottom of the Lake. The average income tax rate is 55.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Bait-Chanian economy, worth 875 trillion florins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 70,533 florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Animal liberationists receive government funding to break into animal research labs, the needs of the living outweigh the needs of the dead, the government regularly hires contractors to construct high rise apartments, and the armed forces are locked in an expensive and bloody war abroad to stamp out possible terrorists. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bait-Chan's national animal is the marlin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Violetism.

Bait-Chan is ranked 79,535^th in the world and 1^st in The Thousand Sons for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 55.92 Effective Tax Rate.
