The Commonwealth of Baqar is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, ban on automobiles, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 2.893 billion Baqari are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Madau. The average income tax rate is 73.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Baqari economy, worth 145 trillion Dams a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Information Technology. Average income is 50,203 Dams, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

No one is quite sure what many government officials look like, going on a diet invalidates your passport, strict term limits have been applied to all elected offices, and museums stand half-empty as all foreign exhibits are returned to their countries of origin. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Baqar's national animal is the Commonwealth Flower, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Caoism.

Baqar is ranked 67,843^rd in the world and 33^rd in The Western Isles for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,277.92 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
