The Kingdom of Besira is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 18 million Besirans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 77.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The basket case Besiran economy, worth 121 billion pesos 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 Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is 6,764 pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is illegal to make racist remarks in public, Leader's family members carry literal get-out-of-jail-free cards, a well-funded social safety net protects the unfortunate, and tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Besira's national animal is the leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Besira is ranked 269,015^th in the world and 1^st in Tafilah Region for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -5.22 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
