The Kingdom of Beezwax is a titanic, efficient nation, notable for its enslaved workforce, frequent executions, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 23.448 billion Beezwaxians 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 relatively small, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 18.4%.

The powerhouse Beezwaxian economy, worth a remarkable 2,278 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 broadly diversified, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is 97,165 dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 674,709 per year while the poor average 4,889, a ratio of 138 to 1.

The government is a law unto itself, maintaining economic growth is no laughing matter, murderers frequently escape punishment by claiming they were protecting their honour, and children are seen fighting in the playground for bread scraps that fall out of diamond-encrusted lunchboxes. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force. Beezwax's national animal is the bee, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Beezwax is ranked 51,510th in the world and 3rd in The Trunk of a Pontiac Tempest for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 4,709.8 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
