The Reaving Skallywag of Commodore Badger is a titanic, safe nation, notable for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 16.427 billion Bad MFers love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 72.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Commodore Badgerian economy, worth 633 trillion Francos 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 Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 38,576 Francos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Drug deals return to the streets as legions of undercover officers stalk the dark web, the nation solves other countries' human rights problems with a generous dose of violence, shivering secretaries type letters under torrential downpours in open-roof offices, and Animal Liberationists are regularly arrested. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Commodore Badger's national animal is the Parrot, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Commodore Badger is ranked 34,239^th in the world and 117^th in the Outback for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 71.97 Effective Tax Rate.
