The Protectorate of The Beckoning One is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and daily referendums. The democratic, devout population of 22.904 billion Beckoning Oneans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Spirituality, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 53.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Beckoning Onean economy, worth 990 trillion stamps a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 43,248 stamps, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

A referendum must be held in order for any new law to be passed, CSI Forest is this year's hit new crime show, corporate lobbying has been outlawed, and weathermen are being arrested for attempting to read the future. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Beckoning One's national animal is the movem, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

The Beckoning One is ranked 107,551^st in the world and 113^th in Wintreath for Most Patriotic, with 14.35 flags saluted per person per day.
