The Republic of Bai Lung is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Gong Chūrù with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 39.726 billion Bai Lungeses are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pyongjing. The average income tax rate is 1.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Bai Lungian economy, worth an astonishing 17,749 trillion Bai Lungese Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 446,789 Bai Lungese Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Mining is the nation's most dangerous occupation, in a fit of passion Gong Chūrù has shredded thirty years' worth of petitions, rumours have it that a secret police is responsible for the recent spate of missing persons, and phone taps are frequently carried out by the police. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Bai Lung's national animal is the Tiger Pig and Man, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Bai Lung is ranked 290,903^rd in the world and 5,162^nd in The East Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring -16.12 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
