The Republic of Bkue is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Joe with an iron fist, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, triple-decker prams, and keen interest in outer space. The cynical, devout population of 4.844 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 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 573 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. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 118,380 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Older citizens lament over the loss of law and order, the combined alert sound of a nation simultaneously receiving a text message is a common cause of hearing damage, neighboring nations are tired of Bkue's big fish stories, and the fattest folk in Bkue look to be the happiest ones. 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 32,623^rd in the world and 26^th in Lone Wolves United for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,547.58 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
