The Community of Biwas is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and compulsory military service. The hard-working, democratic population of 662 million Biwasians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.5%.

The Biwasian economy, worth 31.1 trillion pesos a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Woodchip Exports, and Trout Farming. Average income is 46,908 pesos, with the richest citizens earning 5.9 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is moderate, probably because of the absence of a police force. Biwas's national animal is the eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Biwas is ranked 324,443^rd in the world and 9^th in Tanza for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -7.07 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
