The Grand Duchy of Bapaving is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Tupou I with a fair hand, and notable for its conspicuous electricity pylons, daily referendums, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 8.707 billion Bapavingians 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 large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vaihitahi. The average income tax rate is 97.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Bapavingian economy, worth a remarkable 1,781 trillion specks a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 204,574 specks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The sanitised and dull music festivals of Bapaving are famed for their reasonable volume levels, populations of two-headed red-footed tortoises have been found around recently-uncovered archaeological sites, gardeners must genetically test weeds for unique traits before digging them up, and captains must wait until all rats are safe before jumping ship. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bapaving's national animal is the red-footed tortoise, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is the Christian Church of the East.

Bapaving is ranked 209,441^st in the world and 2,870^th in the South Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -4.27 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
