The BB of BB is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its avowedly heterosexual populace, pith helmet sales, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 14.721 billion BBians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 68.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient BBian economy, worth a remarkable 1,575 trillion Golds 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, Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. 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 107,042 Golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.
Farmers sing lullabies to soothe their livestock to sleep, prisons are filled with the cackles and sobs of a deranged inmate population, children are encouraged to fail at school so as not to appear too enlightened, and shivering secretaries type letters under torrential downpours in open-roof offices. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. BB's national animal is the Elephant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
BB is ranked 270,050th in the world and 9,851st in Osiris for Most Beautiful Environments, with 60.29 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
