The Republic of BPC is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Ariel Gorski with an even hand, and remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working population of 1.048 billion Krannic have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Niakrar. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 58.4%.

The strong Krannic economy, worth 54.4 trillion kranns a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 51,913 kranns, with the richest citizens earning 6.4 times as much as the poorest.

For the sake of 'public interest' news programs tell viewers how to home-make Sarin gas bombs, baby boys who pick up pink crayons are sent to a psychiatric ward, Ariel Gorski has just been declared ruler of BPC in an international press conference, and ports have ground to a halt as no boat can reach them without trespassing. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. BPC's national animal is the Red Kite, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

BPC is ranked 22,504^th in the world and 2^nd in Southern Equatorial Council for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 1,096.79 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
