The Rogue Nation of Bak is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, ban on automobiles, and exploding hoverboards. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 805 million Bakians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tar Valon. The average income tax rate is 31.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bakian economy, worth 87.1 trillion Naols a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Gambling, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 108,189 Naols, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

All recreational drugs are legal, playing an online nation simulation game legally obliges you to buy the creator's latest novel, government negotiators never forget to say "pretty please" when begging for custody of its criminals, and Leader has just been declared ruler of Bak in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Bak's national animal is the Mudskipper, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bak is ranked 126,091st in the world and 6th in The Powers that Be for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 1,350.25 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
