The Hexagons are the Bestagons of Bestagon is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Arin Jyri Jokinen with a fair hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, complete lack of prisons, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.423 billion hexagons 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, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Talvikund. The average income tax rate is 19.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient hexagonal economy, worth 99.0 trillion graphenes a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 40,862 graphenes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Married couples must call each other "darling" or risk a fine, the government has declared its commitment to multilateralism, Arin Jyri Jokinen has just been declared ruler of Bestagon in an international press conference, and access to the woods is only granted to those who bring a small shrubbery. Crime is well under control. Bestagon's national animal is the hexagon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bestagon is ranked 96,036th in the world and 13th in Squareworld for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 1,447.36 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
