The United Commonwealths of Bayfront is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Parker Johnson with an even hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 2.945 billion Bayfrontites 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stefensted. The average income tax rate is 57.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Bayfrontite economy, worth 201 trillion Baybits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 68,391 Baybits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

The world still seems flat to some people in space, people boast about their low income on their dating profiles, the military is slashing spending on conventional arms and diverting it to spending on prosthetic arms, and bowling teams spend more time looking at their phones than the pins. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bayfront's national animal is the Firecrest, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bayfront is ranked 51,523^rd in the world and 9^th in Moonveil for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 170.74 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
