The Republic of Baobhan Sith is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, renowned for its stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 9.69 billion Baobhan Sithians are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The large, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 38.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Baobhan Sithian economy, worth 182 trillion pesos a year, is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Gambling, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 18,884 pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is well under control, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Baobhan Sith's national animal is the porpoise.

Baobhan Sith is ranked 141,406^th in the world and 1^st in NRO for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 1,728.99 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
