The Queen's State of Bentley Mountain is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its burgeoning deer population. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 25.143 billion Mountainmens enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The minute, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Law & Order, although Industry, Healthcare, and Welfare are also considered important, while Social Policy and Spirituality receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.5%.

The very strong Bentley Mountainian economy, worth a remarkable 1,099 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. Average income is 43,741 betales, with the richest citizens earning 6.5 times as much as the poorest.

Voting is voluntary, surveillance cameras are banned, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, and organ donation rates have hit a new low. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Bentley Mountain's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Bentley Mountain is ranked 12,456th in the world and 1st in Upstate New York for Most Stationary, with 2,007.80189556152 days.
