The Most Serene Republic of Bightakeed is a small, safe nation, notable for its absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 26 million Bightakeedians 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, liberal, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Spirituality, although Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 47.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The fair Bightakeedian economy, worth 651 billion kronor a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Trout Farming, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 25,063 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bightakeed's national animal is the cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bightakeed is ranked 42,251^st in the world and 1^st in Northvale for Highest Drug Use, scoring 297.21 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
