The Commonwealth of PBB- is a large, pleasant nation, renowned for its burgeoning turtle population. The hard-working population of 172 million PBB-ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 27.9%.

The PBB-ian economy, worth 6.15 trillion lire a year, is led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Cheese Exports, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 35,757 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. PBB-'s national animal is the turtle.

PBB- is ranked 294,630^th in the world and 22^nd in Project Birdbrain for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -8.37 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
