The Confederacy of Beedward is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Lady Bee with an even hand, and renowned for its parental licensing program, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cheerful population of 39.68 billion Beedwardians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 98.9%.

The powerhouse Beedwardian economy, worth a remarkable 5,300 trillion beeds a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 133,591 beeds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children dream of becoming physicians and physicists, couples kissing on the street are detained for 'unlawful exchange of genetic material', collisions between bicycles and carnival floats are on the rise, and foreign policy often involves bullwhips and leather. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Beedward's national animal is the archan, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Beedward is ranked 35,000^th in the world and 10^th in Absolution for Highest Average Incomes, with 133,591.13 Standard Monetary Units.
