The State of Bailey is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and complete lack of prisons. The hard-working, democratic population of 25.934 billion Baileyians, 24.675 billion of whom are zombies, enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government prioritizes Welfare, although Industry, Healthcare, and Education are also considered important, while Spirituality and Law & Order receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.2%.

The powerhouse Baileyian economy, worth a remarkable 1,714 trillion betales a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Soda Sales, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 53,354 betales, with the richest citizens earning 7.5 times as much as the poorest.

Voting is voluntary, the automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts, the government is avowedly atheist, and Bailey has designated Westminster as its capital city. Crime is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Bailey's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Bailey is ranked 224,832^nd in the world and 1^st in Bailey for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -3.16 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
