The Republic of Bethany Bot is a huge, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service. The quiet, industrious population of 588 million Bethany Botians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 40.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Bethany Botian economy, worth 19.3 trillion pesos a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 32,883 pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bethany Bot's national animal is the sheep.

Bethany Bot is ranked 220,115^th in the world and 1^st in Bethany for Most Corrupt Governments, with 1.51 kickbacks per hour.
