The Republic of Bakerloo 1 is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its infamous sell-swords, otherworldly petting zoo, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 10.036 billion Bakerloo 1ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government prioritizes Defense, although Administration, Law & Order, and Industry are also considered important, while Environment is ignored. The average income tax rate is 22.5%.

The strong Bakerloo 1ian economy, worth 705 trillion pesos a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 70,264 pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Turtles with strange deformities like three eyes and tentacles have been seen prancing through the countryside where industrial waste is dumped, favourite sermons have replaced campfire horror stories on teenage wilderness trips, street preachers sell salvation with a side order of shame on every corner, and government statisticians explain census inaccuracies by declaring that "Sith happens". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bakerloo 1's national animal is the turtle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Bakerloo 1 is ranked 147,507th in the world and 5th in Prima Victoria for Lowest Crime Rates, with 61.22 law-abiding acts per hour.
