The State of Beachcliff is a gargantuan, orderly nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 32.929 billion Beachcliffians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 70.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Beachcliffian economy, worth 822 trillion betales a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 24,987 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The tenet of free speech is held dear, political activists are routinely executed, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, and Beachcliff has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Beachcliff's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Beachcliff is ranked 190,730^th in the world and 1^st in Niue for Highest Poor Incomes, with 21,506.49 Standard Monetary Units.
