The United Socialist States of Bedsonya is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Biggus Dickus with an even hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, soft-spoken computers, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate population of 6.729 billion Bedsonyans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nostaw. The average income tax rate is 97.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Bedsonyan economy, worth a remarkable 1,062 trillion Dollarbucks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 157,928 Dollarbucks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Biggus Dickus's media campaigns take a hiatus around exam week, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, translators are keen to explain feline MPs' claw and ordure policies, and it is illegal for police officers to carry out searches due to strict privacy laws. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bedsonya's national animal is the Plapitypuss, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bedsonya is ranked 159,867th in the world and 8,578th in Balder for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 1,270.98 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
