The Democracy of Baybay is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by baybay the third with an even hand, and notable for its soft-spoken computers, smutty television, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate population of 8.785 billion Baybayians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of belesi. The average income tax rate is 92.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Baybayian economy, worth a remarkable 1,537 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 174,967 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Body doubles and armed bodyguards escort witnesses to and from courtrooms, the Violet Mile now refers to the long line-ups that former death row inmates wait in as they transfer to maximum security prisons, Baybay the third's relatives have been married into the royal families of foreign nations against their will, and a new generation of space-obsessed youth are convinced there's nothing out there. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Baybay's national animal is the Tona bird, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Baybay is ranked 280,491^st in the world and 4,386^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Conservative, scoring 29 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
