The Steadfast Peoples of Bejare is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its smutty television, lack of airports, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 23.044 billion Bejareans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Beeg. The average income tax rate is 89.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bejarean economy, worth a remarkable 3,409 trillion Chits a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Retail, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 147,972 Chits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has organised a nationwide cull of infected alligators, preservative manufacturers are told to put a lid on it, class boundaries start and end with the firmness of local tomatoes, and it's all white elephants on parade. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bejare's national animal is the alligator, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Violetism.

Bejare is ranked 296,231^st in the world and 12^th in Northern Sea for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -41.61 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
