The Shining Islands of G C Bakura is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Rocket Scion with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 33.41 billion Bakurans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Transylvania. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient G C Bakuran economy, worth an astonishing 18,599 trillion cards 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 Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is a breathtaking 556,709 cards, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has adopted a "Lightning Never Strikes Twice" approach to dealing with natural disasters, refugees from other nations are flocking to G C Bakura's border, it ain't easy to be green enough to be imported into G C Bakura, and all animals are equal but some are more equal than others. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. G C Bakura's national animal is the potato vending machine, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is the Church of Yellmo.

G C Bakura is ranked 214,097th in the world and 11,725th in Balder for Largest Black Market, with 361 billion Standard Monetary Units.
