The Democratic States of Bicdic is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Simon A Stikmin with a fair hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, complete lack of prisons, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.438 billion Bicdicians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Valor. The average income tax rate is 63.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Bicdician economy, worth 200 trillion Blizzes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 139,553 Blizzes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Almost every singles' party has a clergy and courtesans theme, textbooks are exactly twice as heavy as they used to be, sexually-starved male dinosaurs terrorise tourists during weekly breakouts from Mesozoic Park, and drones are unable to lift the weight of their accompanying paperwork. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bicdic's national animal is the Belted Kingfisher, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Bicdic is ranked 14,958^th in the world and 26^th in The League for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 3,727.21 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
