The Grand Duchy of Bapaving is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Tupou I with a fair hand, and notable for its ban on automobiles, national health service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 8.695 billion Bapavingians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vaihitahi. The average income tax rate is 98.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Bapavingian economy, worth a remarkable 1,792 trillion specks a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 206,112 specks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Preschoolers outnumber veteran politicians in government, kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll, the government has invited tenders from other nations to run the country's infrastructure, and it's surprisingly hard to find pictures of the bad haircuts from Tupou I's childhood. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bapaving's national animal is the red-footed tortoise, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is the Christian Church of the East.

Bapaving is ranked 3,885^th in the world and 68^th in the South Pacific for Highest Poor Incomes, with 177,856.33 Standard Monetary Units.
