The Democratic States of Beaumontania is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Big D with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 14.527 billion enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, pro-business individuals juggles the competing demands of Defence, Education, and Commerce. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Beaumont City. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining industries.

Loans are available for students from poor families, Red Cross demand for body bags is rising while sutures go unused, college students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, and the tenet of free speech is held dear. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Beaumontania's national animal is the One legged dancer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Two skin.

Beaumontania is ranked 8th in Weed and 64,998th in the world for Most Extreme, scoring 17 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
