The Free Land of Becka is a mammoth, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, infamous sell-swords, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 9.081 billion Beckans 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 juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 32.4%.

The very strong Beckan economy, worth 646 trillion pesos a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 71,176 pesos, with the richest citizens earning 7.8 times as much as the poorest.

Hundreds of subterranean tunnels are being built as part of "Project Morlock", the nation has an international reputation for compassion, young children are learning advanced physics to scientifically disprove the existence of Santa Claus, and a blood-red mark on the doorframe means a building must be passed over for destruction. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Becka's national animal is the unicorn, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Becka is ranked 82,401^st in the world and 35^th in Serenity for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 3,925.92 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
