The Earth's Republic of Beaverriver is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Geoffry Merti with a fair hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 3.152 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Education, although Social Equality and the Environment are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Corvan. The average income tax rate is 63%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

Urban high-volume mailers now receive their mail via chauffeur-driven limousines, 'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of Beaverriver's radio stations, charged suspects often have to wait years before the courts have room to judge their trial, and the 'kind of scrawny' 500 meter hurdle is a popular event. Crime is totally unknown. Beaverriver's national animal is the Beaver, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Beaver dollar.

Beaverriver is ranked 35th in Rushmore and 32,147th in the world for Largest Public Sector, scoring 15 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
