The United Socialist States of Beidon is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Naic with a fair hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 7.41 billion Beidonists 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 large, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Welfare, and Environment are also considered important, while Defense and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lonjing. The average income tax rate is 78.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Beidonian economy, worth 588 trillion notes 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 Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is 79,397 notes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sleep-deprived officials are known to collapse after late night revision for their examinations, the government funds large training centres to turn red pandas into functioning members of society, for the sake of 'public interest' news programs tell viewers how to home-make Sarin gas bombs, and government expenses are beyond compare. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Beidon's national animal is the red panda, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Maoism.

Beidon is ranked 30,797^th in the world and 2,128^th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 82.25 law-abiding acts per hour.
