The People's Free Republic of Bicala is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Sir Nate with an even hand, and remarkable for its digital currency, state-planned economy, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 2.849 billion Bicalians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arlpaen. The average income tax rate is 74.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bicalian economy, worth 341 trillion Bonoas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 119,863 Bonoas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Photographers can be found hiding behind the curtains in Sir Nate's bedroom, freedom is never freely given — only when the alternative is too expensive, exorbitant spending on icebreakers breaks the ice at every budget meeting, and retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bicala's national animal is the Hyacinth Macaw, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Germanic Arcilism.

Bicala is ranked 15,383^rd in the world and 35^th in Lands End for Smartest Citizens, with 73.07 quips per hour.
