The Interstellar Union of Bavaristan is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Jovan Smith with an even hand, and renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, frequent executions, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 7.719 billion Bavaristanis have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tiflyang Sector. The average income tax rate is 98.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Bavaristanian economy, worth a remarkable 2,142 trillion Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 277,622 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cane fights are a common sight in nursing homes, talking during class is a gateway to lifelong drug addiction, you can bet your bottom dollar that gambling will cost you an arm and a leg, and supermarket milk is a shear-thickening fluid that can stop small-caliber bullets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bavaristan's national animal is the Tyranid, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Bavaristan is ranked 1,332^nd in the world and 33^rd in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 159.75 law-abiding acts per hour.
