The Feudal State of Eastern Bahia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Gabas with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, ubiquitous missile silos, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 9.89 billion Bahians 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Salvador. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Eastern Bahian economy, worth a remarkable 1,962 trillion Novos cruzados roais do rois a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Gambling. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 198,451 Novos cruzados roais do rois, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 959,737 per year while the poor average 23,805, a ratio of 40.3 to 1.

Commuter vessels have trouble staying afloat due to increased passengers, formerly fertile fields are being leached dry of nutrients by intensive farming, programmes of questionable content are shown at peak-hours, and old folks yearn for the days when young people saw bloodthirsty death matches with their own eyes instead of through a screen. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Eastern Bahia's national animal is the Bat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Spiritism.

Eastern Bahia is ranked 2,800th in the world and 3rd in Chicken overlords for Fattest Citizens, with 36.86 Obesity Rate.
