The Queen's State of BX is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 20.025 billion BXians 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 tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government is solely concerned with Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.7%.

The powerhouse BXian economy, worth 770 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 38,453 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 261,435 per year while the poor average 2,066, a ratio of 126 to 1.

The government is avowedly atheist, voting is voluntary, and the automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. BX's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

BX is ranked 198,203rd in the world and 156th in Omega Prime for Most Corrupt Governments, with 1.38 kickbacks per hour.
