The Slippy Filled Archipelago of Bean land is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 728 million Beanishians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sliptopia. The average income tax rate is 39.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Bean landian economy, worth 57.9 trillion Slippy inks a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 79,592 Slippy inks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Heavy industry grinds to a halt as new equipment must be biked in, children have lost interest in toy guns in favor of toy meth lab kits, rare steaks seem even bluer now, and in distant lands the nation is known as a lovely place that was even better in the good old days. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bean land's national animal is the Slippy, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bean land is ranked 51,448^th in the world and 55^th in Kantrias for Safest, scoring 102.23 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
