The Naked Singularity of Basque Dominion is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Sabino Arana with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, humorless population of 7.735 billion Basques enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Iruņea. The average income tax rate is 9.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Basque economy, worth a remarkable 1,240 trillion euskoes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 160,391 euskoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

The number of students attending university has reached a record high, inheritance tax has recently been abolished, any citizen who cries is immediately assigned a psychiatrist, and Michelin-star chefs are being called on to prepare menus for six-year-olds. Crime is totally unknown. Basque Dominion's national animal is the arrano beltza, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is the Unrelenting Basqueness.

Basque Dominion is ranked 32,761st in the world and 388th in Europe for Lowest Crime Rates, with 81.25 law-abiding acts per hour.
