The Republic of FOB Beast is a large, efficient nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 157 million FOB Beastians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with International Aid and Spirituality not funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.0%.

The very strong FOB Beastian economy, worth 9.27 trillion kronor a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 59,074 kronor, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 278,804 per year while the poor average 7,420, a ratio of 37.6 to 1.

The tenet of free speech is held dear, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, surveillance cameras are banned, and scavengers with burlap sacks and shovels skulk around graveyards. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. FOB Beast's national animal is the cow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

FOB Beast is ranked 326,986^th in the world and 761^st in Dramerican Empire for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring -12.65 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
