The Shtâto of Bagojo is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by sc Yaidin DAINI with an even hand, and renowned for its avant-garde cinema, state-planned economy, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, humorless, devout population of 8.61 billion Bagojânoi are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bagojo Urbo. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Bagôja economy, worth a remarkable 2,360 trillion Bagojâno dolâroes a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Furniture Restoration, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is an amazing 274,183 Bagojâno dolâroes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crocodile roadkill is smeared across the asphalt of the new Formula One track, it's believed that women's brains will overheat if they think for themselves, legislators toe the party line lest the Sergeant-at-Arms decide to conduct "truncheon practice" on the backbench, and women don't report crimes to the emergency services for fear of being arrested. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bagojo's national animal is the âglo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is shtâtismo.

Bagojo is ranked 39,600^th in the world and 837^th in The North Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring 63.21 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
