The Republic of Basso 3 is a colossal, pleasant nation, notable for its burgeoning Basshobian Hawk population. The hard-working population of 2.9 billion Basso 3ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 19.6%.

The Basso 3ian economy, worth 124 trillion Basshobian Gildmarks a year, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Cheese Exports, and Soda Sales. Average income is 42,870 Basshobian Gildmarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Basso 3's national animal is the Basshobian Hawk.

Basso 3 is ranked 190,590^th in the world and 1^st in Purple Ridge for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 34,467.71 Standard Monetary Units.
