The Republic of Beccagilaars is a massive, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The cynical population of 3.98 billion Beccagilaarsians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government prioritizes Healthcare, although Environment, Law & Order, and Defense are also considered important, while Spirituality is ignored. The average income tax rate is 69.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Beccagilaarsian economy, worth 152 trillion euros a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Cheese Exports, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 38,318 euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Rice shortages have risen after paddy fields were drained to combat malaria, the latest national park is visited by more sharks than people, the nation is experiencing a severe shortage of sporting events, and tradesmen will knock 10% off their fees if customers pay cash. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Beccagilaars's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Beccagilaars is ranked 297,317^th in the world and 57^th in Ensio for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring -8 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
