The Magical Mystery State of Beatlevania is a gargantuan, genial nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons, state-planned economy, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 12.414 billion Beatles love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lennongrad. The average income tax rate is 69.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Beatlevanian economy, worth 474 trillion Ringoes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. Average income is 38,260 Ringoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Old dogs don't have to learn new tricks but they have to prove they haven't forgotten old ones, the only things written in the stars are arrest warrants for astrologers, politicians have seen a significant reduction in followers on their social media accounts, and vanity is considered the fifth cardinal virtue. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Beatlevania's national animal is the walrus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Beatlevania is ranked 11,888th in the world and 1st in Third Coalition for Safest, scoring 119.14 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
