The Kingdom of Bagaki is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, cynical population of 869 million are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn’t gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Social Equality, and Religion & Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 51%, and even higher for the wealthy. A very small private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.
Archaeological discoveries are often followed by mysterious hamster abductions, there have been reports of people marrying housepets, smoking is banned in public areas, and the controversial show ‘Who Wants to be an Immigrant?’ has become wildly popular. Crime is relatively low. Bagaki’s national animal is the dildolopogus, which frolics freely in the nation’s many lush forests, and its currency is the reet.
