The Former Someone of Badger is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Mr Badger with a fair hand, and notable for its public floggings, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The democratic population of 15.682 billion Big Bad MFers 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 prioritizes Education, although Environment, Healthcare, and Welfare are also considered important, while Spirituality and Defense receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Madtown. The average income tax rate is 58.9%.

The Badgerian economy, worth 714 trillion Francoes a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Retail. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 45,546 Francoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

A girl's success in life is often linked to her performance in beauty pageants, foreign leaders who don't applaud Mr Badger's speeches are regarded as enemies of Badger, the government helps teach children how to kill a man from six paces, and children wondering what happens to pets after they die are shown where the compost heap is. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Badger's national animal is the Pooch, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

Badger is ranked 19,005^th in the world and 1^st in Entropy for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,060.26 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
