The State of Birobidzhem is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its complete lack of public education, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 20.704 billion Birobidzhemians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.7%.

The very strong Birobidzhemian economy, worth 605 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Trout Farming, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 29,244 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 198,824 per year while the poor average 1,571, a ratio of 126 to 1.

The government's religious works are headed by a New Age guru, voting is voluntary, and Birobidzhem has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Birobidzhem's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Birobidzhem is ranked 287,183^rd in the world and 595^th in Ancient Lands for Lowest Crime Rates, with 36.04 law-abiding acts per hour.
