The Wings of Thunder of Beakon is a colossal, genial nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 4.375 billion Beakonians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 55.9%.

The powerhouse Beakonian economy, worth 351 trillion guilders a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 80,264 guilders, with the richest citizens earning 5.2 times as much as the poorest.

Supervisors in Beakon commonly tie bells on their necks to alert employees of their presence, the mob vote is a crucial electoral demographic, Dogman-branded weapons are all the rage in the militaristic comic-book community, and immersive video game experiences are interrupted by incessant disclaimer pop-ups. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Beakon's national animal is the elephant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Beakon is ranked 143,967^th in the world and 9^th in Regency Puppets for Largest Black Market, with 1.26 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
