The Republic of New Bawkie 25 is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, infamous sell-swords, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 6.229 billion New Bawkie 25ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 54.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong New Bawkie 25ian economy, worth 372 trillion rupees a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 59,789 rupees, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Dictionary sales have hit an all-time high, conversion therapy coupons are a popular present for coming of age ceremonies, policemen regularly conduct midnight raids on closed donut shops to 'collect evidence', and Harry Potter conventions are closely watched by the government for any signs of 'dueling'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. New Bawkie 25's national animal is the crocodile, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

New Bawkie 25 is ranked 146,815^th in the world and 642^nd in Bawkie for Lowest Crime Rates, with 60.67 law-abiding acts per hour.
