The Feudal State of Eastern Bahia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Gabas with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, strictly enforced bedtime, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 10.135 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, 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 10.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Eastern Bahian economy, worth a remarkable 2,110 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 rampant. Average income is an amazing 208,266 Novos cruzados roais do rois, with the richest citizens earning 8.1 times as much as the poorest.

The police use sound cannons and mortars to deal with loud parties, coffee-addicted citizens look forward to baristas getting their name wrong at local coffee shops, economic output is rising as the chronically depressed are persuaded not to burden society, and swarms of present-laden delivery drones blot out the sun before major holidays. 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 113,443^rd in the world and 2,066^th in the South Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 2,183.58 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
