The Hive World of Bakarussian is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Governor Militant Joseph II Bekonas with an iron fist, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 33.557 billion Bakanarussians 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, although Law & Order and Spirituality are also considered important, while Social Policy and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Holy Hive City of Bakanas. The average income tax rate is 4.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bakarussianian economy, worth an astonishing 10,017 trillion Bakons a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 298,518 Bakons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Protestors are soaking piles of Bakons in blood to make a point about government incomes, soldiers are taught to throw their guns at their enemies once the bullets have run out, hit TV show 'The eXecution Factor' is a critical success, and rocket scientists spend more time designing slide shows than launching rockets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Bakarussian's national animal is the Aquila, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Imperial Cult.

Bakarussian is ranked 277,263^rd in the world and 8^th in Warhammer 40000 for Highest Drug Use, scoring 33 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
