The Socialism society of CNBeta is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Fe Mas with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 4.1 billion Roads are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Reality. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 11.2%.

The frighteningly efficient CNBetan economy, worth 821 trillion milks of book a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an amazing 200,421 milks of book, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 628,510 per year while the poor average 48,969, a ratio of 12.8 to 1.

The flesh-eating lost souls that wander at night serve as a major tourist attraction (CNBeta has found 3 easter eggs), the nation's drinking water tends to glow green at night, the military has quashed a recent coup attempt, and talkative students are escorted from schools in second-hand prison buses. Crime is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. CNBeta's national animal is the Australopithecus, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is None.

CNBeta is ranked 250,388^th in the world and 9,119^th in Lazarus for Most Armed, with 0.19 weapons per person.
