The Burlesk Brommende Bijen of Bijenkorf is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by de koningin with an iron fist, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, humorless population of 32.339 billion Bijenkorfians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Social Policy, Environment, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Honingratia. The average income tax rate is 87.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The enormous but sluggish Bijenkorfian economy, worth a remarkable 1,103 trillion honings a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 34,129 honings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The government has undertaken a massive education and health program to combat VODAIS, people caught mistreating Bijenkorf's flag generally wind up in a great deal of pain, there's a shortage of swinging hot spots as land development grinds to a halt, and local executives are seen on the corner with cardboard signs reading "will oppress the masses for food". Crime is totally unknown. Bijenkorf's national animal is the werkstertjesbijen, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bijenkorf is ranked 100,856^th in the world and 5,256^th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 65.75 law-abiding acts per hour.
