The Sheolic Nation of B-Simphlistica is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Dark Angel Holly with an even hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, compulsory gun ownership, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 10.388 billion B-Simphlisticans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Acomplex. The average income tax rate is 72.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse B-Simphlistican economy, worth a remarkable 1,078 trillion francs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 103,813 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

When flight control tells pilots to alter course the usual reply is "No, YOU move!", flags are commonly used as bonfire kindling, droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police, and potatoes are known for their lead aftertaste. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. B-Simphlistica's national animal is the emu, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Sillizism.

B-Simphlistica is ranked 300,592^nd in the world and 5^th in Sheol for Nicest Citizens, with 0.43 average smiles per day.
