The Paleolithic Tribe of Bisofeyr is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Ugg Rokson with a fair hand, and remarkable for its compulsory vegetarianism, enforced nudity, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, humorless, devout population of 6.012 billion Bisofeyri love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Environment, Spirituality, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lunsel. The average income tax rate is 98.0%.

The all-consuming Bisofeyri economy, worth 647 trillion Bis a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Basket Weaving industry. Average income is an impressive 107,734 Bis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Giving up when the going gets tough is all the rage, cinemas play art-house movies to ever-shrinking audiences as film critics rule the industry, teenagers often ask adults to buy them Maxtopian Grass from government-run recreational drug stores, and 'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of Bisofeyr's radio stations. Crime is totally unknown. Bisofeyr's national animal is the Bisofeyri Panthera, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Bisofeyri Proto-Religion.

Bisofeyr is ranked 56,370th in the world and 125th in Forest for Highest Average Incomes, with 107,734.78 Standard Monetary Units.
