The BEPU of BEPU is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Aenir with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, frequent executions, and exploding hoverboards. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 27.285 billion BEPUians 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of bEPU. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 77.9%.

The frighteningly efficient BEPUian economy, worth an astonishing 14,492 trillion Pigs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Soda Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 531,146 Pigs, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,793,527 per year while the poor average 53,907, a ratio of 51.8 to 1.

The line of people waiting for a visa interview in front of foreign embassies is typically a mile long, chain-gangs are often seen toting barges and lifting bales, declaring that "some kids are just born evil" is not endearing Aenir to progressive thinkers, and sushi is sold on the black market. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force. BEPU's national animal is the Cat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is bEPU.

BEPU is ranked 2,508^th in the world and 1^st in Escapia for Most Patriotic, with 92.27 flags saluted per person per day.
