The Cheerleading Dominion of The Badgerette is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its smutty television, public floggings, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 38.615 billion Badgerettes are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Law & Order, although Defense and Industry are also considered important, while Social Policy and Environment are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.8%.

The all-consuming The Badgerette economy, worth a remarkable 4,305 trillion Pounds a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 111,500 Pounds, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 590,606 per year while the poor average 11,150, a ratio of 53.0 to 1.

City sidewalks are crowded with overweight people, there has been a series of riots between local cannibals and health food advocates, armed police units patrol the roads late at night, and Pinkerton agents are called in to forcibly break up white collar strikes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. The Badgerette's national animal is the Badger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

The Badgerette is ranked 123,590^th in the world and 850^th in the South Pacific for Largest Black Market, with 1.61 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
