The Great Love Story of Beta Couple is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Wingman with an iron fist, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 15.481 billion foils are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Paradise. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 53.4%.

The frighteningly efficient the foil economy, worth a remarkable 4,297 trillion loves a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Retail, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 277,612 loves, with the richest citizens earning 8.0 times as much as the poorest.

Motivational posters send motorists positive vibes in high-risk areas, court cases mostly involve lawyers shouting questions at witnesses giving silent shrugs, an increasing number of animal species are named 'Bob', and the government is pouring funds into the nation's welfare system. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Beta Couple's national animal is the dove, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Cards.

Beta Couple is ranked 315,002nd in the world and 4,719th in The North Pacific for Longest Average Lifespans, with 26.41 years.
