The Republic of Baja is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by President Richard White with an even hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, keen interest in outer space, and frequent executions. The devout population of 16.003 billion Bajans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cabo San Lucas. The average income tax rate is 15.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Bajan economy, worth a remarkable 1,153 trillion bajus a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Trout Farming. Average income is 72,096 bajus, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Local mafias have a tough time disposing of dead snitches without catching the attention of recycling authorities, foreign leaders are advising that President Richard White's letters must have gotten lost in the mail, abortions are carried out secretly in shady backstreet clinics, and military spending is on the increase. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Baja's national animal is the Turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Christianity.

Baja is ranked 183,771^st in the world and 10^th in Scarif for Most Corrupt Governments, with 2.52 kickbacks per hour.
