The Honeycombers of Beekeeping is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its avant-garde cinema, ubiquitous missile silos, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 11.62 billion Beekeepingians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, moralistic government prioritizes Law & Order, with Education, Industry, and Defense also on the agenda, while International Aid is ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 26.6%.
The very strong Beekeepingian economy, worth 892 trillion lire a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 76,823 lire, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 241,715 per year while the poor average 18,680, a ratio of 12.9 to 1.
Bilingual Beekeepingians are viewed with suspicion, citizens must inform the government each time they have a haircut, people's charity begins and ends at home, and foreign casinos have trouble paying fans who bet on the Beekeeping City Tigers' triumph against long odds. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Beekeeping's national animal is the tiger.
Beekeeping is ranked 208,321st in the world and 261st in Colonia Apollonis for Most Corrupt Governments, with 1.08 kickbacks per hour.
