The Enlightened Republic of Bad Omen is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Coco Jambo with a fair hand, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, strictly enforced bedtime, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 33.089 billion Bad Omenians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, although Social Policy is also considered important, while Spirituality and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Azweiz. The average income tax rate is 74.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bad Omenian economy, worth a remarkable 3,477 trillion escudoes a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 105,082 escudoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Both diets and economic output are growing leaner with recent restrictions to free trade, politicians spend more time in courtrooms than in Parliament, police struggle to solve crimes due to the lack of fingerprint records, and the world still seems flat to some people in space. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Bad Omen's national animal is the Snow Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Bad Omen is ranked 229,828^th in the world and 106^th in Portugal for Most Primitive, scoring -278.86 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
