The Commonwealth of Beepitol is a large, safe nation, notable for its frequent executions, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 176 million Beepitolians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 77.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Beepitolian economy, worth 4.93 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 27,997 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Primetime re-runs of The Black and White Minstrel Show are a critical hit, veteran cops reminisce over their heavy armor days, billions of dollars are being poured into a space program, and research to reduce famine is defunded by a one percent margin vote. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Beepitol's national animal is the house cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Beepitol is ranked 20,475^th in the world and 81^st in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 54.5 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
