The United Socialist States of Bedsonya is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Biggus Dickus with an even hand, and remarkable for its soft-spoken computers, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 1.564 billion Bedsonyans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nostaw. The average income tax rate is 94.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Bedsonyan economy, worth 206 trillion Dollarbucks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 132,103 Dollarbucks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Burning twigs to keep warm while lost in the wild is now a felony, decongestants have replaced Dollarbucks in street transactions, mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest-growing field, and the government is washing its hands of alleged corruption. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bedsonya's national animal is the Plapitypuss, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bedsonya is ranked 283,027^th in the world and 6,028^th in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -13.22 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
