The Interstellar Union of Bavaristan is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Jovan Smith with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, aversion to nipples, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 7.836 billion Bavaristanis are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tiflyang Sector. The average income tax rate is 98.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Bavaristanian economy, worth a remarkable 2,203 trillion Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 281,255 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Political commentators say that Jovan Smith's fruitcake plans are about to go pear-shaped, plain-clothes police officers follow Dàguó tourists everywhere they go, modern warfare's call of duty isn't popular with gamers these days, and friendly fire incidents usually result in severe burns. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bavaristan's national animal is the Tyranid, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Bavaristan is ranked 101,561^st in the world and 2,344^th in the South Pacific for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 223.04 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
