The Dictatorship of Bagoobu is a massive, cultured nation, notable for its compulsory military service, sprawling nuclear power plants, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.548 billion Bagoobuans are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The medium-sized, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 21.8%.

The thriving Bagoobuan economy, worth 87.0 trillion Stools a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 56,206 Stools, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 244,567 per year while the poor average 8,179, a ratio of 29.9 to 1.

Teenagers are told they're not thinking about sex enough, the government invades its allies more than its enemies, kids looking for shark teeth have become ancient history, and cities in Bagoobu declare independence based on interpretation of the historic meaning of cave paintings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bagoobu's national animal is the elephant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Bagoobu is ranked 123,517^th in the world and 6^th in The Coalition of Card Buddies for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 1,589.73 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
