The Republic of Basadana is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its public floggings, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 16.165 billion Basadanans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government prioritizes Welfare, with Defense, Education, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. The average income tax rate is 10.2%.

The strong Basadanan economy, worth 852 trillion kronor a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery, Furniture Restoration, and Retail. Average income is 52,732 kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. Basadana's national animal is the kangaroo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Basadana is ranked 241,986^th in the world and 1^st in World Alliance for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 98.54 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
