The Holy Empire of The Bepis is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Supreme Bepis Enjoyer with an even hand, and notable for its ban on automobiles, lack of airports, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.45 billion Bepis Enjoyers enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bepis City. The average income tax rate is 75.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Bepisian economy, worth 129 trillion Bepis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery and Soda Sales. Average income is 52,912 Bepis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The big red machine has ground to a halt, body doubles and armed bodyguards escort witnesses to and from courtrooms, prankster scientists legally change their names to silly pseudonyms before major discoveries, and Max Barry is this year's Miss The Bepis. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Bepis's national animal is the Ferret, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Bepism.

The Bepis is ranked 269,429^th in the world and 1,221^st in Europe for Most Patriotic, with 0.79 flags saluted per person per day.
