The Shining Islands of G C Bakura is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Rocket Scion with an even hand, and notable for its soft-spoken computers, state-planned economy, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 31.653 billion Bakurans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Transylvania. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient G C Bakuran economy, worth an astonishing 17,486 trillion cards a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is a breathtaking 552,430 cards, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Many marriages go virtually unconsummated, the saying 'break a leg' is now taken literally, the central government is trying to keep things flowing, and polling place volunteers are suddenly opening a huge number of offshore bank accounts. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. G C Bakura's national animal is the potato vending machine, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is the Church of Yellmo.

G C Bakura is ranked 61st in the world and 2nd in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 305.58 law-abiding acts per hour.
