The Republic of Bay Roberts is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Walter Yetman with a fair hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.499 billion Bay Robertsians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bay Roberts. The average income tax rate is 41.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Bay Robertsian economy, worth 305 trillion pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 87,286 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People stand their fridges back-to-front to benefit from the free heating, internet trolls are considered valiant supporters of the right to free speech, the nation's politicians are known more for the internet memes they spawn than any of their accomplishments, and religious households enthusiastically use whips in private. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Bay Roberts's national animal is the codfish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Agnosticism.

Bay Roberts is ranked 273,766^th in the world and 23^rd in The Maritimes for Most Patriotic, with 0.66 flags saluted per person per day.
