The Proletarian Dictatorship of Baskar is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Communal Directorate of Workers with an even hand, and renowned for its digital currency, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 9.443 billion Baskarians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Proletariaatri. The average income tax rate is 99.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Baskariany economy, worth a remarkable 2,422 trillion Sklis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 256,575 Sklis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bin lorries have replaced birds as the source of the dawn chorus, minor code style errors dull the house edge, worship days have replaced sick days, and the government spends more on chasing distant comets than on basic infrastructure. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Baskar's national animal is the Whale, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Constitutional Atheism of State.

Baskar is ranked 1,550^th in the world and 43^rd in The Communist Bloc for Most Developed, scoring 98.2 on the Human Development Index.
