The Commonwealth of El Bababooey is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Myron Vestergaard with an even hand, and renowned for its smutty television, infamous sell-swords, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, cheerful population of 4.482 billion El Bababooeyians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of El Bababooey Tunnel. The average income tax rate is 98.7%.

The frighteningly efficient El Bababooeyian economy, worth 990 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 221,070 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Economists have been named Invertebrates of the Year, criminals and college students are taking an interest in the government's new weed-killing program, murder victims' families receive windfall payouts when the murderers are executed, and light entertainment isn't dead. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. El Bababooey's national animal is the Man Bear Pig, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Atheism.

El Bababooey is ranked 5,256^th in the world and 9^th in Wintreath for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 14,824.92 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
