The 2nd Socialist Republic of Bessarasia is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Alaina Tereshkova with a fair hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 11.781 billion Bessarasians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, corrupt, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pyotrsvic. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Bessarasian economy, worth a remarkable 3,396 trillion Fauxres a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 288,265 Fauxres, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Occam's razor has sliced to pieces any childhood belief in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy, rioting during the nation's hosting of ORDER caused one million Fauxres of property damage, Bessarasian husbands are dead good at fathering kids, and the numbers on the latest spending report are reaching stellar levels. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bessarasia's national animal is the Bessarasian Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Rasian Orthodox.

Bessarasia is ranked 1,242^nd in the world and 24^th in Europe for Highest Poor Incomes, with 254,323.86 Standard Monetary Units.
