The Oppressed Peoples of Bicantia is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Ice Cream Man with a fair hand, and notable for its compulsory vegetarianism, feral children, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.468 billion Bicantians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sugar City. The average income tax rate is 71.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Bicantian economy, worth 217 trillion Denars a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 88,229 Denars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Mothers are routinely abandoning their children in the name of women's rights, conspiracy theorists allege that the government is spying on them through their carbon monoxide detectors, 10-year-olds who struggle with integrating by parts are considered slow learners, and sex offenders find themselves cut off from the ability to repeat their crimes. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bicantia's national animal is the Tardigrade, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bicantia is ranked 66,947th in the world and 3,833rd in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 70.56 law-abiding acts per hour.
