The Republic of Badgeriya is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by badger games with an iron fist, and notable for its avant-garde cinema, aversion to nipples, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, cynical population of 4.964 billion Badgeriyans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of new Wisconsin. The average income tax rate is 69.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Badgeriyan economy, worth 322 trillion olins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 64,953 olins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Old folks reminisce about the last time someone was acquitted of a crime, incarcerated crime lords manage their empires from massage tables, for the sake of 'public interest' news programs tell viewers how to home-make Sarin gas bombs, and Chekhov's guns are killing the entertainment budget. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Badgeriya's national animal is the moose, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is wouldn't u like to know.

Badgeriya is ranked 287,874^th in the world and 35^th in Liberty Democratic Alliance for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 24.45 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
