The Dictatorship of Badan Federation is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Lord Judo with an iron fist, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, soft-spoken computers, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 14.677 billion Badan Federationians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Scorch 1. The average income tax rate is 99.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Badan Federationian economy, worth a remarkable 4,701 trillion Babs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 320,328 Babs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Life expectancies inside correctional facilities vastly exceed the national average, you don't need a smoking gun to arrest someone for promoting guns, Badan Federationian novella fans become unusually flustered when thinking about Lord Judo, and road signs are getting harder to read under layers of knitted woolen cardigans. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Badan Federation's national animal is the Skull, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Badan Federation is ranked 290,827^th in the world and 2^nd in The Roman Empire for Most Primitive, scoring -766.11 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
