The Republic of Storm Bean is a huge, pleasant nation, remarkable for its burgeoning Idinist population. The hard-working population of 744 million Storm Beanians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 22.1%.

The Storm Beanian economy, worth 30.1 trillion Idinists a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. Average income is 40,487 Idinists, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Storm Bean's national animal is the Idinist, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
