The Allied States of Babic is a very large, cultured nation, remarkable for its lack of airports, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 284 million Babicians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oku. The average income tax rate is 69.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Babician economy, worth 10.3 trillion Nakkuras a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 36,228 Nakkuras, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A blood-red mark on the doorframe means a building must be passed over for destruction, a rogue brutalist can cement their town in the past, blue bloods are welcome in Babic, and the new Babician-made OS is buggier and more inconvenient than a horse-drawn carriage. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Babic's national animal is the Black Widow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Babic is ranked 33,483^rd in the world and 25^th in Refugia for Highest Drug Use, scoring 332.82 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
