The Depressed pile of General of General BM is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Pile of Fuzzy Depression with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, compulsory vegetarianism, and zero percent divorce rate. The compassionate, cynical population of 979 million General BMians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Depressed City. The average income tax rate is 64.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong General BMian economy, worth 60.1 trillion BM Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 61,377 BM Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Flash floods that dams could have controlled regularly ravage small towns in mountain valleys, stranded mountaineers can watch livestreamed footage of their rescues, the nation's reputation for treachery has left it sidelined on the international stage, and citizens must have a license to operate a computer. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. General BM's national animal is the Depressed Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

General BM is ranked 120,894^th in the world and 16^th in General Storage for Highest Average Incomes, with 61,377.27 Standard Monetary Units.
