The Everlasting Empire of Bej is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Micheal Petrov with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, sprawling nuclear power plants, and flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 12.542 billion Bejians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Education are also considered important, while Spirituality and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Beki. The average income tax rate is 45.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bejian economy, worth a remarkable 4,091 trillion Bejis a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 326,191 Bejis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A popular saying is "don't do the crime if you can't smash the lime(stone)", Beki University is said to be the modern-day Tower of Babel, CEOs can't hear the term 'Fire Sale' without bursting into tears, and people who do not complete their community service are sentenced to more community service. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bej's national animal is the Bejian crocodile, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Bej is ranked 2,255th in the world and 1st in The West Pole for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 178,100.44 Standard Monetary Units.
