The Decent Sorta Place of Beaumonde is a mammoth, safe nation, notable for its public floggings, strictly enforced bedtime, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 5.388 billion Beaumondeans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Law & Order, although Defense, Industry, and Public Transport are also considered important, while Social Policy and Spirituality receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 41.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Beaumondean economy, worth 376 trillion credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Average income is 69,820 credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens must pay to enjoy Beaumonde's pristine beaches, pristine wilderness has been trashed in the quest for cheaper oil, wildlife near farms is slowly becoming extinct, and all guns must be registered. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Beaumonde's national animal is the horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Beaumonde is ranked 261,316^th in the world and 91^st in Wonderfalls Gift Emporium for Highest Drug Use, scoring 46.34 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
