The Glorious Dominion of Beeurdicus is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Wilsher Zelk with an iron fist, and remarkable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, keen interest in outer space, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 4.124 billion Beeurdicusians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bastion. The average income tax rate is 73.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Beeurdicusian economy, worth 360 trillion credits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is 87,501 credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Truancy is as easy as clicking a camera icon, there's no cure or sympathy for the common cold, citizens living in underground cities have developed a healthy green glow, and hunters often become the hunted. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Beeurdicus's national animal is the giant crab, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Beeurdicus is ranked 179,358th in the world and 1,663rd in the West Pacific for Fattest Citizens, with 9.65 Obesity Rate.
