The Democratic States of Bicdic is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Simon A Stikmin with a fair hand, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, compulsory military service, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.549 billion Bicdicians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Valor. The average income tax rate is 65.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Bicdician economy, worth 215 trillion Blizzes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 138,788 Blizzes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Family isn't who you're born with but who you abandon in foreign countries, brave curators do battle with disorganised government libraries, 'Police Academy 36' and 'Sharknados On A Plane' are vying for top spot at the box-office, and legend has it Simon A Stikmin's shower singing echoes through the halls of government. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bicdic's national animal is the Belted Kingfisher, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Bicdic is ranked 49,423^rd in the world and 79^th in The League for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 3,188.4 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
