The Irish Federation of Bauld is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Shaun Inniz with a fair hand, and notable for its burgeoning dog population. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 28.663 billion Bauldians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Social Policy, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dublin. The average income tax rate is 23.3%.

The strong Bauldian economy, worth a remarkable 1,340 trillion Euros a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 46,751 Euros, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.

Hundreds of thousands of convicts work as slaves in Bauld's many privately-owned prisons, Bauld has designated Dublin as its capital city, Shaun Inniz has just been declared ruler of Bauld in an international press conference, and competing private ambulances racing to be the first to traffic accidents are a major cause of road accidents. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bauld's national animal is the dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Nihilism.

Bauld is ranked 8,283^rd in the world and 1^st in Cyberius Confederation for Largest Populations, with 28.7 billion capita.
