The United Kingdom of Beknoran is a very large, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and compulsory military service. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 123 million Beknoranians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.0%.

The strong Beknoranian economy, worth 6.89 trillion papers a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 55,975 papers, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 177,058 per year while the poor average 13,506, a ratio of 13.1 to 1.

A valid legal defense is 'dead men tell no tales', it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, there are no minimum wage laws, and meat is a luxury afforded only to the wealthy. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Beknoran's national animal is the porpoise, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

Beknoran is ranked 206,925^th in the world and 23^rd in sooren for Safest, scoring 35.57 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
