The Nomadic Peoples of Bleeper is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 858 million Bleeperians are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Education. The average income tax rate is 67.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Bleeperian economy, worth 24.7 trillion bleep dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Book Publishing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 28,810 bleep dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pranking is an art form, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, singing in public is only allowed if you are singing the praise of the Motherland, and foreign lack of enthusiasm for Bleeperian nose-flute disco metal is seen as a reasonable casus belli. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bleeper's national animal is the bleeper, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Bleeper is ranked 41,753rd in the world and 2nd in Medici for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 2,288.39 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
