The State of Bai is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its ban on automobiles and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 25.253 billion Baians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Public Transport, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 40.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Baian economy, worth 730 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Trout Farming, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 28,928 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cars are banned, the government has begun breaking all large businesses into thousands of mom-and-pop general stores, X-Files ratings have hit an all-time low, and Bai has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is relatively low. Bai's national animal is the deer.

Bai is ranked 189,780^th in the world and 2^nd in Juba for Lowest Crime Rates, with 57.6 law-abiding acts per hour.
