The Holy Tan Zombie Nationstates of Bigej is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by St Patrick with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, soft-spoken computers, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, cheerful population of 15.086 billion Bigejians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Small Boat Marina. The average income tax rate is 98.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Bigejian economy, worth a remarkable 2,344 trillion Gold Bars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 155,420 Gold Bars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Artists are pillars of society, giggling teens are asked to put their mouths on rubber dolls, hay has been added to school cafeteria menus, and things are looking up for patients accidentally prescribed erectile dysfunction medication. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bigej's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is The Almighty Sand Crab.

Bigej is ranked 2,035^th in the world and 1^st in The grimy backyard of Bigej for Nicest Citizens, with 70.43 average smiles per day.
