The Republic of Bhadeshistan is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and national health service. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 387 million Indians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Delhi. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 23.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Bhadeshistanian economy, worth 55.1 trillion Rupees a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 142,288 Rupees, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,265,839 per year while the poor average 2,170, a ratio of 583 to 1.

Children wondering what happens to pets after they die are shown where the compost heap is, major internet servers have acquired citizenship, skateparks can be found in every city, and citizens praise the weeds that overwhelm their narrow vegetable realm. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Bhadeshistan's national animal is the Royal Bengal Tiger, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Bhadeshistan is ranked 273,229^th in the world and 5,656^th in The North Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -263.78 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
