The Dexterian Republic of Bawkie is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Nahmon Jaaqisidad with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, complete lack of prisons, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, cheerful population of 13.428 billion Bawkiens are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mezqurbha Dzifatfatbawqur. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Bawkien economy, worth a remarkable 4,592 trillion Bawks a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 342,017 Bawks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is using tax revenues to provide jobs for the poor, photographers can be found hiding behind the curtains in Nahmon Jaaqisidad's bedroom, refugees from other nations are flocking to Bawkie's border, and some of the country's most famous photographers are animals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bawkie's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Dexterism.

Bawkie is ranked 2,258^th in the world and 55^th in the South Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 69.06 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
