The Commonwealth of Bebeb is a tiny, efficient nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 7 million Bebebians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.2%.

The powerhouse Bebebian economy, worth 558 billion humans a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Uranium Mining, and Trout Farming. Average income is 79,732 humans, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 310,380 per year while the poor average 13,997, a ratio of 22.2 to 1.

Neighboring nations are tired of Bebeb's big fish stories, mathematics majors learn about new ways to model their crushing debt, students do more community service than homework, and Representatives, Inc has sponsored bake sales and government bills. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. Bebeb's national animal is the human, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Bebeb is ranked 257,558^th in the world and 2,612^th in the Pacific for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 40.11 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
