The Dexterian Republic of Bawkie is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Sasna Daisaharim with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful population of 13.392 billion Bawkiens 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, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mezqurbha Dzifatfatbawqur. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Bawkien economy, worth a remarkable 4,585 trillion Bawks a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 342,423 Bawks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Foreigners with shady pasts are fleeing the country, old fossils give the tours at the parliamentary museum, fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets, and the new cheese tax is colloquially known as "wheel welfare". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bawkie's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Dexterism.

Bawkie is ranked 246^th in the world and 8^th in the South Pacific for Highest Food Quality, scoring 515.45 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
