The Feudal State of Eastern Bahia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Gabas with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, flagrant waste-dumping, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 10.081 billion Bahians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Salvador. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Eastern Bahian economy, worth a remarkable 2,085 trillion Novos cruzados roais do rois a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Gambling. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an amazing 206,905 Novos cruzados roais do rois, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,053,957 per year while the poor average 22,417, a ratio of 47.0 to 1.

Women no longer need to pepper conversations with incessant references to fictitious husbands, homeowners are evicted to make way for new runways, clandestine emigration to countries with labor laws is all the rage, and employees are told they can avoid traffic jams by starting work at 4 AM. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Eastern Bahia's national animal is the Bat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Spiritism.

Eastern Bahia is ranked 5,082nd in the world and 76th in the South Pacific for Most Corrupt Governments, with 224.02 kickbacks per hour.
