The United Socialist States of Bad Night is a mammoth, safe nation, remarkable for its burgeoning Kitsune population. The quiet, industrious population of 5.254 billion Bad Nightians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 23.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Bad Nightian economy, worth 208 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Soda Sales, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 39,722 Delta Eagles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Kilts and cassocks are viewed with suspicion, weathermen are being arrested for attempting to read the future, brains have been removed from lists of best brain foods, and out-of-work actors say they can't complain. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bad Night's national animal is the Kitsune.

Bad Night is ranked 50,892^nd in the world and 1^st in New Rock River for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,850.08 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
