The Commonwealth of El Bababooey is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Myron Vestergaard with an iron fist, and notable for its aversion to nipples, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 9.551 billion El Bababooeyians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of El Bababooey Tunnel. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient El Bababooeyian economy, worth a remarkable 2,692 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 281,896 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A new "thought police" branch is being developed, every product goes through extensive safety-testing by the government, the sound of wooden legs echo throughout El Bababooey after the recent introduction of the Foot Tax, and old dogs don't have to learn new tricks but they have to prove they haven't forgotten old ones. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. El Bababooey's national animal is the Man Bear Pig, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

El Bababooey is ranked 468^th in the world and 1^st in Wintreath for Most Developed, scoring 99.19 on the Human Development Index.
