The Enslaved workforce of The Busy Beaver is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Dammicus with an iron fist, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, ubiquitous missile silos, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 11.997 billion Slaves are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Dam. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.8%.

The all-consuming Beaver economy, worth a remarkable 1,047 trillion Woodchips a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Uranium Mining, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 87,328 Woodchips, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 384,678 per year while the poor average 12,436, a ratio of 30.9 to 1.

Torture is commonly used to extract information from suspected criminals, minor parties are virtually absent in Parliament, police spend their Saturday nights breaking up illegal street races, and a bureaucratic fight over BIA cafeteria food expenditures has caused the temporary suspension of all agency counterintelligence operations. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force. The Busy Beaver's national animal is the Beaver, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Damndamism.

The Busy Beaver is ranked 215,077th in the world and 47th in The Interdimensional Community for Highest Food Quality, scoring 10.73 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
