The Federative Republics of Beanastan is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Gary Bean Bryan with an even hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, avant-garde cinema, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 2.265 billion Beanians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bean Berg. The average income tax rate is 74.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Beanian economy, worth 210 trillion BEANS a year, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 92,543 BEANS, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Ride-sharing often involves some passengers sitting on the roof rack, supermarket milk is a shear-thickening fluid that can stop small-caliber bullets, praying at the office can see you terminated for napping, and sleeping on the job is recommended. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Beanastan's national animal is the Can 'o Beans, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Beanastan is ranked 233,264^th in the world and 132^nd in Eladria for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -7 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
