The Republic of Bai Lung is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Gong Chūrù with an iron fist, and notable for its frequent executions, public floggings, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 44.917 billion Bai Lungeses are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pyongjing. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Bai Lungian economy, worth an astonishing 19,736 trillion Bai Lungese Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an amazing 439,404 Bai Lungese Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,574,795 per year while the poor average 87,929, a ratio of 17.9 to 1.

Organ donation is compulsory, phone taps are frequently carried out by the police, mining is the nation's most dangerous occupation, and the government seizes all major gold finds. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Bai Lung's national animal is the Tiger Pig and Man, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Bai Lung is ranked 82^nd in the world and 3^rd in The East Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 26,215.72 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
