The Republic of Baked Beans is a very large, safe nation, notable for its rum-swilling pirates, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 173 million Beanies 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, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 54.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Baked Beansian economy, worth 10.8 trillion Beans a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Furniture Restoration, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 62,654 Beans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Blind dates reemerge as a necessary evil in the quest for love, selfie stick use is a required Scout badge, the government is spending millions on renovating the public transportation system, and a suspicious number of John Smiths are known to donate to Baked Beansian politicians. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Baked Beans's national animal is the Pig, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Baked Beans is ranked 67,999^th in the world and 34^th in Atlanticana for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 2,809.88 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
