The Dexterian Republic of Bawkie is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Sasna Daisaharim with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, daily referendums, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cheerful population of 13.354 billion Bawkiens 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 Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mezqurbha Dzifatfatbawqur. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Bawkien economy, worth a remarkable 4,567 trillion Bawks a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 342,003 Bawks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Police escort anti-abortion activists to free speech cages if they try to express their views, children are brainwashed at a young age to accept "love and peace!" as a way of life, grocery stores can be audibly identified by the giggling emerging from them, and senior citizens are often found slaving away in factories. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bawkie's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Dexterism.

Bawkie is ranked 717^th in the world and 19^th in the South Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 27,463.27 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
