The Republic of BCC 4 is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 3.074 billion BCC 4ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 32.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong BCC 4ian economy, worth 195 trillion bitcoins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 63,585 bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Military instructors tire of being asked for another bedtime story by seven-year-old conscripts, editorials that criticize the government are legally obligated to display the "pants on fire" warning, athletes and street criminals compete for solid steel baseball bats, and the BCC 4ian military is limping towards victory. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. BCC 4's national animal is the porpoise, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

BCC 4 is ranked 25,820^th in the world and 254^th in Suspicious for Safest, scoring 111.15 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
