The Theocracy of Bee Bee is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its compulsory military service, suspicion of poets, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 850 million Bee Bees enjoy frequent elections, which are uniformly corrupted by big-spending corporations buying politicians who best suit their interests.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Beebhares. The average income tax rate is 16.0%.

The very strong Bee Bee economy, worth 56.5 trillion lapis a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery, Automobile Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 66,494 lapis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Cheap and tasteless vegetables flood the markets, the lives of former ski town residents are going downhill, all government facilities are built in the subterranean citadel of Beebhares, and fire stations and hospitals can't deploy emergency vehicles because badly parked cars block them in. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bee Bee's national animal is the bee, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Bee Bee is ranked 251,563rd in the world and 7th in Bleak Eternity of Gehenna for Most Cultured, scoring 63 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
