The United Commonwealths of Bayfront is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Parker Johnson with an even hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, compulsory military service, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate population of 3.3 billion Bayfrontites enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stefensted. The average income tax rate is 66.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Bayfrontite economy, worth 230 trillion Baybits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 69,892 Baybits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Murderers and thieves claim divine inspiration to avoid prosecution, grandiose stage parents insist superyachts and private cinemas are children's basic needs, the roar of the Niagara 3000 mega-loo can be heard several blocks away, and the mood of raunchy movies is often ruined by the sound of babies crying. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bayfront's national animal is the Firecrest, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bayfront is ranked 2,921^st in the world and 10^th in Aeternum for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 13,896.92 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
