The Republic of Bdr is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its ritual sacrifices, infamous sell-swords, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, devout population of 1.049 billion Bdrians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 68.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Bdrian economy, worth 85.3 trillion lire a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 81,357 lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The dish 'poisson avec poison' is only available on the black market, pretending to be prejudiced is a good way to get out of jury duty, former bars are desperately trying to re-brand themselves as cafés, and there's a lot of mouth-breathers about these days. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bdr's national animal is the swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bdr is ranked 62,314^th in the world and 238^th in Izern for Most Developed, scoring 73.53 on the Human Development Index.
