The Holy Empire of Bagel Sound is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Franz The Kriegsman Füllmer with an even hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, free-roaming dinosaurs, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 4.166 billion Bagelians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yeastogroph. The average income tax rate is 80.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bagel Soundian economy, worth 701 trillion Cybermarcks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 168,445 Cybermarcks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Minor parties are virtually absent in Parliament, all recreational drugs are legal, most people suffer from some form of hearing loss, and a passport is literally priceless. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bagel Sound's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is All.

Bagel Sound is ranked 105,173^rd in the world and 2,538^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,955.46 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
