The Democratic Republic of North Baba is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Prime Minister Brian Triana with an iron fist, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 7.946 billion North Babans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Carpio. The average income tax rate is 98.1%.

The frighteningly efficient North Baban economy, worth a remarkable 1,790 trillion people’s farthings a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 225,345 people’s farthings, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's diplomatic missives are now delivered via sniper rifle, punk-rockers and girl-bands are united in their loss of fashion statements, road signs are getting harder to read under layers of knitted woolen cardigans, and boats straying just metres away from the shore will raise the ire of the Coast Guard. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. North Baba's national animal is the feather-bellied dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

North Baba is ranked 30,193rd in the world and 562nd in The North Pacific for Most Stationary, with 1,344.3485840608 days.
