The Feudal State of Eastern Bahia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Gabas with an iron fist, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 9.832 billion Bahians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Salvador. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Eastern Bahian economy, worth a remarkable 1,913 trillion Novos cruzados roais do rois a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Gambling. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 194,639 Novos cruzados roais do rois, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 950,467 per year while the poor average 22,917, a ratio of 41.5 to 1.

Everyone wants to be on the guest list for diplomatic parties, virtual assistants are seen with increasing suspicion every time they get an upgrade, Gabas lights cigars with a hundred-Novos cruzados roais do rois bill, and many believe that the only good Bat is a dead Bat. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Eastern Bahia's national animal is the Bat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Spiritism.

Eastern Bahia is ranked 38,561st in the world and 72nd in Chicken overlords for Most Cultured, scoring 75 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
