The Shtâto of Bagojo is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by sc Yaidin DAINI with an even hand, and renowned for its strictly enforced bedtime, pith helmet sales, and complete absence of social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.642 billion Bagojânoi are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bagojo Urbo. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Bagôja economy, worth a remarkable 2,386 trillion Bagojâno dolâroes a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Furniture Restoration, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is an amazing 276,159 Bagojâno dolâroes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Calvinball players are lost for days as they wander the vast halls of their new academies, foreign leaders are advising that sc Yaidin DAINI's letters must have gotten lost in the mail, holidays are regarded as the most miserable time of the year, and legislators work 24/7 due to an influx of single-issue bills. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bagojo's national animal is the âglo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is shtâtismo.

Bagojo is ranked 289,678th in the world and 6,303rd in The North Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -24.41 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
