The Rogue Nation of Bread Experts is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its compulsory military service, enslaved workforce, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 684 million Bread Expertsians 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 tiny, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Garlic Knot City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Bread Expertsian economy, worth 102 trillion Baguettes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Information Technology, and Gambling. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 149,398 Baguettes, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 729,544 per year while the poor average 17,590, a ratio of 41.5 to 1.

It's illegal to blow things up, nobility is the world's oldest profession, the local custom of Biking With The Cars sends tourists home bemused or in body-bags, and fat-shaming is now public policy. Crime is a serious problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Bread Experts's national animal is the The Croissant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Bread Experts is ranked 252,880^th in the world and 3^rd in Nine Pigs in a Pen for Highest Poor Incomes, with 17,590.86 Standard Monetary Units.
