The Democratic Republic of Besconev is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, daily referendums, and frequent executions. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 335 million Besconevians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 9.7%.

The strong Besconevian economy, worth 20.5 trillion bevs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 61,137 bevs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

The government's official position on invasive species is 'who cares?', internet searches for the inventor of the three-wheeled steam-powered Besconevian weed picker are way up, parents often leave their kids in the car while they attend mindfulness meditation sessions, and Besconev recently decided against having a capital city. Crime is totally unknown. Besconev's national animal is the cobra, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Besconev is ranked 74,024th in the world and 50th in Benigtopia for Rudest Citizens, with 66.51 insults per minute.
