The Nation of Commonwealth of Baker Park is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Timothy Wentworth with an even hand, and notable for its national health service, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 13.663 billion Parkers enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Belle Haven. The average income tax rate is 95.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Parker economy, worth a remarkable 1,847 trillion pound sterlings a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 135,252 pound sterlings, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers, an epidemic of unpopped kernels causes movie goers to gnash their teeth, and farting etiquette is taught in schools. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Commonwealth of Baker Park's national animal is the Elk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Calvinist Methodist Episcopal.

Commonwealth of Baker Park is ranked 3,773rd in the world and 5th in Arrosia for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 21,946.03 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
