The Community of Bazingastan is a tiny, safe nation, renowned for its frequent executions and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 18 million Cal-Tech Students have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 34.5%.

The a Cal Tech Student economy, worth 723 billion Comic Books a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 40,190 Comic Books, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Mass shootings have become the new normal, scientists recently cloned the long-extinct feather-bellied Schrodinger's cat, the nation locks people up and tells them they're mad for compassion's sake, and nobody knows why the caged Schrodinger's cat sings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bazingastan's national animal is the Schrodinger's cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bazingastan is ranked 101,949^th in the world and 33^rd in Sun Tzu the Art of War for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 95.39 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
