The Ŝtato of Bagojo is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by sĉ Jajdin DAJNI with an iron fist, and renowned for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and daily referendums. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.713 billion Bagojanoj 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, moralistic morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bagojo Urbo. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Bagoja economy, worth a remarkable 2,375 trillion steloj a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Furniture Restoration, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is an amazing 272,601 steloj, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Dubiously qualified East Lebatuckese doctors prescribe ice baths as a treatment for pneumonia, parents seeking custody have to write a five-thousand word analysis of their child's imaginary friend, national park visitors are reporting a rash of poison ivy sightings, and new pilots are regularly reminded that they are more expendable than their planes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bagojo's national animal is the aglo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is ŝtatismo.

Bagojo is ranked 76,811^th in the world and 2,141^st in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 101.56 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
