The Commonwealth of Bigmore is a huge, pleasant nation, notable for its public floggings, compulsory military service, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 502 million Bigmoreans 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 Defense, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 22.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Bigmorean economy, worth 15.9 trillion Big MS a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Pizza Delivery, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 31,579 Big MS, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Adultery has been made a capital offence, the people are famous throughout the region for their perfect yellow teeth, Bigmorean politics is literally a blood sport, and military spending is on the increase. Crime is moderate, probably because of the absence of a police force. Bigmore's national animal is the Morebigger, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Bigmore is ranked 178,190^th in the world and 65^th in Vristic for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 391.88 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
