The Dexterian Republic of Bawkie is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Sasna Daisaharim with an even hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cheerful population of 13.374 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 Education, Administration, 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 4,575 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 342,113 Bawks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Residents of houses built on a foundation of wishful thinking are prone to an odd sinking feeling, excessive wheelchair ramps on government buildings have been compared to theme park attractions, it's illegal to be caught on tape, and returning vacationers often find that their property is now a construction site. 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 291,643^rd in the world and 5,441^st in the South Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -40.89 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
