The People's Republic of Reformed Babba Newl is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its soft-spoken computers, smutty television, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.276 billion Reformed Babba Newlians 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 enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 95.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Reformed Babba Newlian economy, worth 482 trillion guilders a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 147,362 guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Elections have become procedural nightmares due to voters persistently rejecting candidates, the military refers to helpless combatants offering surrender as "sitting ducks", it is illegal to distribute Girl Guide Cookies without an advanced food hygiene diploma, and any body part that can be cut off a person is no longer considered to be their property. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Reformed Babba Newl's national animal is the squirrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Reformed Babba Newl is ranked 10,083rd in the world and 207th in The Communist Bloc for Lowest Crime Rates, with 101.09 law-abiding acts per hour.
