The Republic of Bai Lung is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Gong Chūrù with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, keen interest in outer space, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 39.502 billion Bai Lungeses are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pyongjing. The average income tax rate is 1.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Bai Lungian economy, worth an astonishing 17,602 trillion Bai Lungese Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 445,620 Bai Lungese Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens are regularly arrested in queues for 'loitering', political activists are routinely executed, mining is the nation's most dangerous occupation, and in a fit of passion Gong Chūrù has shredded thirty years' worth of petitions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Bai Lung's national animal is the Tiger Pig and Man, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Bai Lung is ranked 305,317th in the world and 5,832nd in The East Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 8 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
