The Republic of New Baathist Iraq is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.129 billion Iraqis are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 47.3%.

The Iraqi economy, worth 49.2 trillion Iraqi dinars a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining and Gambling. Average income is 43,593 Iraqi dinars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Baathist Iraq's national animal is the lion.

New Baathist Iraq is ranked 293,536^th in the world and 2^nd in Coalition of Baathist States for Nudest, with 24.75 cheeks per square mile.
