The Shining Islands of G C Bakura is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Rocket Scion with an even hand, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 31.874 billion Bakurans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Transylvania. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient G C Bakuran economy, worth an astonishing 17,613 trillion cards a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is a breathtaking 552,594 cards, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Giggling teens are asked to put their mouths on rubber dolls, constipated-looking politicians are uptight about potty mouths, Widow Twankey complains about being "cancelled", and listless juries are assembled for the simplest of court cases. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. G C Bakura's national animal is the potato vending machine, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is the Church of Yellmo.

G C Bakura is ranked 90^th in the world and 2^nd in Balder for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 69,180.77 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
