The Federation of Bakoru is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical population of 559 million Bakoruans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 76.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Bakoruan economy, worth 11.2 trillion marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 20,000 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Unpopular cops are fired at a moment's notice by the citizens they police, citizens are deployed to barren deserts to protect small territorial claims, an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents, and farmers sing lullabies to soothe their livestock to sleep. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bakoru's national animal is the elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bakoru is ranked 171,772^nd in the world and 4,222^nd in the Rejected Realms for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 215.26 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
