The Newfoundland Town of Bay Roberts is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Geoff Seymour with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic population of 8.42 billion Bay Robertsians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bay Roberts. The average income tax rate is 70.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bay Robertsian economy, worth a remarkable 1,064 trillion Canadian Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 126,382 Canadian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Debates on whether toilet seats should be left up or down are increasingly commonplace, volunteers are signing up to take arms against an incursion of flesh-eating zombies (Bay Roberts has found 1 easter egg), hypochondriacs demand treatment for genetic disorders they don't have, and students are known to arrive at school in their pyjamas. Crime is totally unknown. Bay Roberts's national animal is the codfish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is lowercase-a anglicanism.

Bay Roberts is ranked 128,585th in the world and 8th in The Maritimes for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 907.21 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
