The Kingdom of Bhaskarius is a very large, efficient nation, notable for its frequent executions, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 286 million Bhaskariusians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rynia. The average income tax rate is 81.1%.

The very strong Bhaskariusian economy, worth 23.3 trillion Suryas a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 81,315 Suryas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Some say Leader has gone MAD after authorizing the development of apocalyptic biological weapons, future forecasters fearfully discuss grey goo and human obsolescence, mandatory state-funded classes teach Libertarianism, and foreign spirits are hard to find due to an abundance of "Cletus and Jim Bob's Homemade Bhaskariusian Moonshine". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bhaskarius's national animal is the Bhaskar Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bhaskarius is ranked 23,661st in the world and 94th in Concord for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 4,419.4 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
