The Beans on Toast of Beans on Toast 18 is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, complete lack of prisons, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.98 billion Beans on Toast 18ians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 77.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Beans on Toast 18ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,086 trillion Cards a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 155,664 Cards, with the richest citizens earning 5.2 times as much as the poorest.

They who do not work shall not eat, nature magazines featuring stick insects on their covers are sometimes mistaken for fashion magazines, typing Leader's name into a search engine always gives zero matches, and dreams of replicator technology have been dashed following a ban on 3D printers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Beans on Toast 18's national animal is the Raven, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Beans on Toast 18 is ranked 16,711th in the world and 214th in Memeland United for Most Corrupt Governments, with 113.71 kickbacks per hour.
