The Empire of Greater Baigin Goberstan is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 551 million Greater Baigin Goberstanians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gobergrad. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 16.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Greater Baigin Goberstanian economy, worth 52.8 trillion Alkanes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 95,877 Alkanes, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 283,186 per year while the poor average 25,519, a ratio of 11.1 to 1.

AI models unanimously choose all government facts, smoking is banned in public areas, a degree of self-hatred is vital for a future in politics, and military spending is on the increase. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Greater Baigin Goberstan's national animal is the crocodile, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Greater Baigin Goberstan is ranked 46,794th in the world and 27th in The Black Hawks for Most Developed, scoring 78.08 on the Human Development Index.
