The Democratic Republic of Behapublinedurk is a small, socially progressive nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 20 million Behapublinedurkians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The minute, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.2%.

The strong Behapublinedurkian economy, worth 1.00 trillion kronor a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 50,062 kronor, with the richest citizens earning 5.9 times as much as the poorest.

Children deemed 'disorderly' or otherwise unfit for public schools are shipped off to military academies, faceless corporations are expected to assume parental responsibility over millions of teenagers, Basket Weaving facilities are being turned into cobra habitats, and industrial chicken farmers hear no evil see no evil and cluck no evil. Crime is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Behapublinedurk's national animal is the cobra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Behapublinedurk is ranked 289,572^nd in the world and 24^th in One Power for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 415.24 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
