The Federal Republic of Bavstria is a small, genial nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The democratic population of 40 million Bavstrians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government prioritizes Defense, with Welfare, Law & Order, and Education also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. The average income tax rate is 50.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Bavstrian economy, worth 1.05 trillion Bavstrian Schillings a year, is quite specialized and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Cheese Exports, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 26,191 Bavstrian Schillings, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government seizes the property of the recently deceased, it is common to still see adults with training wheels on their bikes, minor parties are virtually absent in Parliament, and people are bored of easy crossword puzzles. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bavstria's national animal is the beaver, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Bavstria is ranked 268,230^th in the world and 6,153^rd in the Rejected Realms for Largest Populations, with 40.0 million capita.
