The Itty Bitty Kitty of Baxt Harackus is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons, digital currency, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.023 billion Baxt Harackusians 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, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Law & Order, although Defense, Healthcare, and Industry are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 58.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Baxt Harackusian economy, worth 139 trillion marks 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 a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Automobile Manufacturing, Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. 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 69,068 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation continues to depend on foreigners for food, the government is well known for declaring war on other countries for suspected slights, the studies of art and philosophy are banned, and God took rock and roll from you, took rock and roll from everyone. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Baxt Harackus's national animal is the falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Baxt Harackus is ranked 40,523rd in the world and 1,058th in Suspicious for Most Patriotic, with 32.02 flags saluted per person per day.
