The Eternal Emirate of Behun is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Dearest Super-King and Emperor JS284B with an iron fist, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, infamous sell-swords, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 2.496 billion Behunians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Empror. The average income tax rate is 91.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Behunian economy, worth 605 trillion GolderCoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Trout Farming. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 242,316 GolderCoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Drills and shovels have been banned as the government cracks down on any means of fracking, religious people are committed to mental institutions for treatment, trains and passengers alike are often late, and sermons are regularly interrupted by businessmen taking phone calls. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Behun's national animal is the Polar Crocodile, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Communism.

Behun is ranked 197,434th in the world and 8,124th in Balder for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 40.33 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
