The Holy Empire of Alizebeth Bequin is a colossal, cultured nation, notable for its ritual sacrifices, strictly enforced bedtime, and soft-spoken computers. The cynical population of 4.432 billion Alizebeth Bequinians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 16.8%.

The Alizebeth Bequinian economy, worth 207 trillion Delta Eagles 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, fairly diversified black market in Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, Automobile Manufacturing, 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 46,832 Delta Eagles, with the richest citizens earning 7.6 times as much as the poorest.

Only AIs know why the nation is rapidly increasing its semiconductor stockpile, marine biology students are shocked to discover that a whale is a mammal, in court almost every witness is a hostile witness, and people boast about their low income on their dating profiles. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Alizebeth Bequin's national animal is the Kitsune, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Alizebeth Bequin is ranked 251,103^rd in the world and 8^th in Praetoria for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -4.98 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
