The Most Serene Republic of Baked America is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Mary Jane with an even hand, and notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, ban on automobiles, and triple-decker prams. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 17.662 billion Baked Americans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government prioritizes Administration, although Industry, Education, and Healthcare are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Potville. The average income tax rate is 90.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Baked American economy, worth a remarkable 3,518 trillion Cookies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Basket Weaving, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 199,215 Cookies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Power to the people comes from the barrel of a gun, the big red machine has ground to a halt, the studies of art and philosophy are banned, and mountain rescuers refer to their new gear as the 'watchamacallits' and 'thingymabobs'. Crime is moderate. Baked America's national animal is the Baking Cookie, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is 420.

Baked America is ranked 166,388th in the world and 1st in 420 for Most Stationary, with 112.86164304628 days.
