The Enslaved workforce of The Busy Beaver is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Dammicus with an iron fist, and notable for its public floggings, frequent executions, and complete lack of public education. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 11.796 billion Slaves are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Dam. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.8%.

The all-consuming Beaver economy, worth a remarkable 1,030 trillion Woodchips a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Uranium Mining, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 87,328 Woodchips, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 384,678 per year while the poor average 12,436, a ratio of 30.9 to 1.

Torture is commonly used to extract information from suspected criminals, minor parties are virtually absent in Parliament, police spend their Saturday nights breaking up illegal street races, and a bureaucratic fight over BIA cafeteria food expenditures has caused the temporary suspension of all agency counterintelligence operations. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force. The Busy Beaver's national animal is the Beaver, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Damndamism.

The Busy Beaver is ranked 159,528th in the world and 59th in The Interdimensional Community for Most Stationary, with 128.23827209412 days.
