The Republic of Bkue is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Joe with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, ubiquitous missile silos, and triple-decker prams. The cynical, devout population of 5.007 billion Bkueans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bkuia. The average income tax rate is 70.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bkuean economy, worth 602 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 120,311 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Top gamblers bet against seedy hoopers, the nation's declaring that sharing nukes is caring, wars of expansion are described as "peacekeeping operations", and graffiti artists make up a significant portion of the coal mining population. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bkue's national animal is the beaver, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Bkue is ranked 36,350^th in the world and 6^th in Lone Wolves United for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 5,078.15 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
