The Oppressed Peoples of Biking is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 7.559 billion Bikingians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The medium-sized, corrupt, pro-business government is primarily concerned with Industry, although Welfare, Administration, and Healthcare are also considered important. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 86.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Bikingian economy, worth a remarkable 2,486 trillion Platinums a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Gambling, and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 329,010 Platinums, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,948,144 per year while the poor average 4,724, a ratio of 623 to 1.

Scoutmasters debate whether luxury log cabins defeat the purpose of camping, kids' party bags often contain candy and e-cigarettes, ample hospital parking is half-filled by the luxury cars of hospital managers, and in pet stores nationwide Cows are growing in popularity. Crime is totally unknown. Biking's national animal is the Cow, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Biking is ranked 277,447th in the world and 134th in Poetry for Safest, scoring 5.97 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
