The Confederacy of Beedward is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Lady Bee with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, anti-smoking policies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful population of 34.642 billion Beedwardians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 98.9%.

The very strong Beedwardian economy, worth a remarkable 4,327 trillion beeds a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism. Average income is an impressive 124,914 beeds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Stuttering trypanophobes are doomed never to marry, citizens praise the weeds that overwhelm their narrow vegetable realm, small patches of desolate land across the world are part of Beedwardian sovereign territory, and psychiatrists bizarrely accompany Lady Bee to meetings with foreign heads of state. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Beedward's national animal is the archan, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Beedward is ranked 25,639^th in the world and 9^th in Absolution for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 6,248.02 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
