The Protectorate of BEKM is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Erich Yoda with a fair hand, and notable for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, democratic population of 7.965 billion Bekmites enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal government is dominated by the Department of Healthcare, although Education, Law & Order, and Welfare are also considered important, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aldana. The average income tax rate is 64.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Bekmese economy, worth 283 trillion Kronors a year, is quite specialized and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Cheese Exports, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 35,652 Kronors, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, BEKM has designated Aldana as its capital city, and Erich Yoda has just been declared ruler of BEKM in an international press conference. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. BEKM's national animal is the Peregrine Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

BEKM is ranked 140,144th in the world and 196th in Forest for Most Stationary, with 207.21988821252 days.
