The Federal Republic of Bestenfalls is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Provisional Council with an even hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, compulsory military service, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 6.988 billion Bestenfallsians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bestenfalls City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 60.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Bestenfallsian economy, worth a remarkable 1,960 trillion Marks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 280,489 Marks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 817,043 per year while the poor average 76,130, a ratio of 10.7 to 1.

Ambitious "businessmen" use their children to sell and advertise their products, no cul-de-sac or trailer park is complete without a gambling parlor, shivering secretaries type letters under torrential downpours in open-roof offices, and 'Police Academy 36' and 'Sharknados On A Plane' are vying for top spot at the box-office. Crime is totally unknown. Bestenfalls's national animal is the Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Bestenfalls is ranked 6,361^st in the world and 47^th in Europeia for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 109,671.54 Standard Monetary Units.
