The Republic of South Baba is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Prime Minister Alden Ridgeway with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, infamous sell-swords, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 8.315 billion South Babans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bocaugh. The average income tax rate is 98.2%.

The frighteningly efficient South Baban economy, worth a remarkable 1,740 trillion farthings a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 209,262 farthings, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

They say that South Babans made a dessert and called it peace, students are explicitly allowed to write answers on their forearms before exams, the Snapgram channel "Embarrassing Baby Prime Minister Alden Ridgeway Pics" has made Prime Minister Alden Ridgeway's mom a celebrity, and spies caught red-handed are served cocktails on their first-class flights home. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. South Baba's national animal is the dove, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

South Baba is ranked 9,596^th in the world and 456^th in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 416.63 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
