The Guardian Commander of Beegarde is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its public floggings, compulsory military service, and state-planned economy. The quiet, industrious population of 4.464 billion Beegardeans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 56.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Beegardean economy, worth 432 trillion dollars 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 slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Information Technology. 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 96,776 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Morale within the seismologist community has hit rock bottom, the government is a clear-cut case of tyranny by majority, the new Beegardean-made OS is buggier and more inconvenient than a horse-drawn carriage, and photographers can be found hiding behind the curtains in Leader's bedroom. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Beegarde's national animal is the panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Beegarde is ranked 227,706^th in the world and 5^th in East Drastico for Least Corrupt Governments, with 92.01 percentage of bribes refused.
