The Principality of Bienenhalde is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Prince Anselm with an even hand, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 20.844 billion Bienenhalders are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Bienenhaldish economy, worth a remarkable 6,395 trillion Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Basket Weaving. Average income is an amazing 306,847 Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Motherland's muscle-bound athletes won 786 medals at the last United Vaporwave Paradise Games, blind dates reemerge as a necessary evil in the quest for love, abattoirs are struggling with the directive to 'wait until the animal dies of a ripe old age', and Harry Potter conventions are closely watched by the government for any signs of 'dueling'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bienenhalde's national animal is the honey bee, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Pietistic Lutheranism.

Bienenhalde is ranked 323,083^rd in the world and 1^st in Vaporwave Paradise for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -258 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
