The Republic of Beans Show is a large, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 173 million Beans Showians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 35.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Beans Showian economy, worth 7.00 trillion Money Men a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Furniture Restoration, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 40,473 Money Men, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's reputation for treachery has left it sidelined on the international stage, liberals and conservatives try to disqualify each other's candidates on the grounds that "their ideas would never work in the real world", the fattest folk in Beans Show look to be the happiest ones, and political gridlock ensues as even the most innocuous legislation is vetoed by the Supreme Court for potential civil rights violations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Beans Show's national animal is the vitamin c, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Beans Show is ranked 90,464^th in the world and 16^th in Spams Random Region for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 1,506.55 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
