The State of Beby is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its punitive income tax rates, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 8.16 billion Bebyians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, 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 Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 71.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Bebyian economy, worth 132 trillion betales a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Cheese Exports, and Information Technology. Average income is 16,240 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Harry Potter books are banned, citizens are barcoded to keep track of their movements, a recent "genocide prevention" campaign includes murdering children based on their DNA, and Beby has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Beby's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Beby is ranked 46,638th in the world and 7th in Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic for Most Stationary, with 938.35552445208 days.
