The Federation of La Baja California is a huge, genial nation, notable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 391 million Bajacalifornianos enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nuevo Tecate. The average income tax rate is 29.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Bajacalifornian economy, worth 27.0 trillion Brazoes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 69,001 Brazoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Bajacalifornian Arts Council pays teenagers to sit through opera performances, televangelists flaunt their expensive cars when they attend charity events, wind farms are erected on shuttered oil platforms, and many are asking why the latest naval vessel is named after Saint Bartholomeus the Many Handed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. La Baja California's national animal is the Bighorn Sheep, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

La Baja California is ranked 40,151st in the world and 1,447th in The North Pacific for Highest Food Quality, scoring 40.9 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
