The Nomadic Peoples of Bleeper is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 703 million Bleeperians are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Education. The average income tax rate is 67.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Bleeperian economy, worth 10.7 trillion bleep dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Cheese Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 15,252 bleep dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bleeper's national animal is the bleeper, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bleeper is ranked 278,083^rd in the world and 25^th in Medici for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -39.37 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
