The Grand Duchy of Bapaving is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Tupou I with a fair hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, digital currency, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 8.889 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, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vaihitahi. The average income tax rate is 98.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Bapavingian economy, worth a remarkable 1,880 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 211,582 specks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Gigantic marble churches take up almost half the land area of small villages, beating enemies to death with a baseball bat is legal if done within nine innings, city budgets are spent entirely on supporting the town royalty, and promising seven years of bad luck leads to seven years of community service. 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 3,358^th in the world and 98^th in the South Pacific for Least Corrupt Governments, with 95.61 percentage of bribes refused.
