The Democratic People's Union of Rapaldegia Bagazis is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Patrick Stone with an iron fist, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, public floggings, and triple-decker prams. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.772 billion Bagazians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Degiazi. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 42.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Bagazian economy, worth 207 trillion Euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 116,844 Euros, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 346,391 per year while the poor average 30,938, a ratio of 11.2 to 1.

The sanitised and dull music festivals of Rapaldegia Bagazis are famed for their reasonable volume levels, populations of two-headed Brown Bears have been found around recently-uncovered archaeological sites, retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites, and group hugs break out during floor votes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Rapaldegia Bagazis's national animal is the Brown Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Communism.

Rapaldegia Bagazis is ranked 141,681^st in the world and 161^st in The Kodiak Republic for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 598.36 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
