The Queen's State of Live Bait is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by the Governor with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete lack of prisons, and compulsory military service. The hard-working, cynical population of 37.79 billion Live Baitians 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 relatively small, well-organized government prioritizes Industry, although Spirituality, Defense, and Welfare are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 18.6%.

The thriving Live Baitian economy, worth a remarkable 2,062 trillion betales a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 54,588 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Live Bait has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, the Governor has just been declared ruler of Live Bait in an international press conference, none has been named as Live Bait's national religion, and government crews work tirelessly to retake the suburbs from organized packs of raccoons. Crime is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Live Bait's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is none.

Live Bait is ranked 135,095th in the world and 186th in State for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 492.19 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
