The State of Biscoe is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its complete lack of public education, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 21.896 billion Biscoeans 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 4.8%.

The very strong Biscoean economy, worth 918 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Cheese Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 41,932 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 285,090 per year while the poor average 2,253, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Voting is voluntary and Biscoe has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Biscoe's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Biscoe is ranked 156,780th in the world and 5th in Saint Georges for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 563.08 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
