The Republic of Bakroyatal is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Simeyón Panaw with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed population of 6.241 billion Bakroyakors 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 Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lyutoshe. The average income tax rate is 63.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bakroyatic economy, worth 856 trillion Apunars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 137,309 Apunars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Loudmouthed journalists are given the chop, Simeyón Panaw has killer fashion sense, napalm is the tool of choice for disabling eco-unfriendly forestry operations, and contemporary art museums showcase the latest in centuries-old art. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bakroyatal's national animal is the Piskeyavodh Pelican, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Bakroyatal is ranked 244,990^th in the world and 4,584^th in the South Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 46.16 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
