The Baikalian confederation of Buryatia and Zabaykalsky is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Empress Monica Habsburg with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 2.058 billion Buryatians 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, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Education, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ulan-Udmur. The average income tax rate is 72.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Buryatia and Zabaykalskyian economy, worth 458 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 222,754 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Students memorise knock-knock jokes for their mandatory twice-a-term Comedy Examinations, builders across Buryatia and Zabaykalsky are blocked up with orders for new public loos, Eau de Trashcan has become a wildly popular perfume, and noises louder than a whisper have been prohibited by law. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Buryatia and Zabaykalsky's national animal is the Therizinosaurus, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Paganism.

Buryatia and Zabaykalsky is ranked 23,288^th in the world and 11^th in Arctica for Lowest Crime Rates, with 87.2 law-abiding acts per hour.
