The Strange Creatures of Bidibidibidi is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Kwippoliet with an iron fist, and renowned for its restrictive gun laws. Its compassionate, cynical population of 3.337 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and the Environment. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bidiville. The average income tax rate is 71%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

The airship business has been driven out of the country by strict regulations and high fines, the nation has welcomed its expats back with open arms, the government is notorious for leaving citizens with almost nothing from their inheritance, and the nanny industry has had a boom after maternity leave was recently banned. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bidibidibidi's national animal is the gremlin, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the glorf.

Bidibidibidi is ranked 93rd in belgium and 96,033rd in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -6 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
