The Bearded Bumbling Bishop of Immers-Babbit is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Father Dinglehurst with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, ubiquitous missile silos, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 11.742 billion Babbs are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Prima Vicaria. The average income tax rate is 24.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Immers-Babbitian economy, worth 667 trillion UA Credits a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 56,839 UA Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Wood-framed catapults are ready to launch diseased corpses into besieged cities, a decrease in wailing and gnashing of teeth at astronomical events is reducing demand for dentistry, foreign policy is based upon the principle of sieve and take, and elderly tribespeople die in bed surrounded by loved ones and linguists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Immers-Babbit's national animal is the cobra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Big One.

Immers-Babbit is ranked 102,538^th in the world and 5^th in Regency Puppets for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 43,084.38 Standard Monetary Units.
