The Empire of Badger Wind is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Creator Destroyer with an iron fist, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 25.372 billion Badgers are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of When Pigs Fly. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Badgerian economy, worth a remarkable 6,526 trillion nuggets a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Cheese Exports. Average income is an amazing 257,217 nuggets, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The police have reaffirmed their tough stance on drugs, bins outnumber trees in city parks, Badgers have more rights than the average citizen, and Creator Destroyer reduces citizens' commute times by giving away their homes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Badger Wind's national animal is the Badger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Badger Wind is ranked 287,910th in the world and 5,467th in the South Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -12.12 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
