The Feudal State of Eastern Bahia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Gabas with an iron fist, and renowned for its rampant corporate plagiarism, frequent executions, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 10.14 billion Bahians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Salvador. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Eastern Bahian economy, worth a remarkable 2,127 trillion Novos cruzados roais do rois a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Gambling. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 209,848 Novos cruzados roais do rois, with the richest citizens earning 7.5 times as much as the poorest.

The nation leads the South Pacific in per capita stalking, toast never burns but always has a weird chemical taste, only the brainiest citizens become academics, and caroling is considered a public disturbance. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Eastern Bahia's national animal is the Bat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Spiritism.

Eastern Bahia is ranked 9,921^st in the world and 235^th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 409.1 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
