The Holy Marketland of Beussaryt is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Glorious and Most Holy Finance Minister with an iron fist, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, ubiquitous missile silos, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 27.643 billion Beussarytians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The minute, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is dominated by the Department of Defense, although Industry and Law & Order are also considered important, while Environment and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Beussaryt City. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Beussarytian economy, worth a remarkable 8,588 trillion Blood Diamonds a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an amazing 310,705 Blood Diamonds, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,335,530 per year while the poor average 11,851, a ratio of 197 to 1.

Murder is sanctioned if the legal paperwork is filled out correctly, ships no longer sail as no one wants to encounter Beussarytian pirates, the deaf are perplexed when the weather report tells them that the wind will be "bringing some rain along the Nazi ghosts", and the only place where one can see the Beussarytian cherry tree is in a museum. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Beussaryt's national animal is the Aurochs, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Capitalistic Christianity.

Beussaryt is ranked 1,470th in the world and 91st in Osiris for Most Valuable International Artwork, with zero Bank.
