The Economic Juggernaut of BillyBee is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by President Bankwell with an even hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, anti-smoking policies, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 43.284 billion Bees are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bombus. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient BillyBeean economy, worth an astonishing 16,504 trillion ergs a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 381,311 ergs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,401,633 per year while the poor average 73,353, a ratio of 19.1 to 1.

Corporate lawyers are joyfully combing through the new tax code for any new loopholes for their clients, the government has ordered a moratorium on referenda, after every storm there's an expensive government-funded rainbow, and the name of the "Butcher of Bigtopia" adorns shirts across BillyBee. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. BillyBee's national animal is the bumblebee, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is consumerism.

BillyBee is ranked 2,446th in the world and 4th in Free States of Gaia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 136.73 law-abiding acts per hour.
