The Cheap Monarchy of Beshichi is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Governor Adam Isayi with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, strictly enforced bedtime, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 19.096 billion Beshichians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Isulu. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 80.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Beshichian economy, worth a remarkable 2,214 trillion Shushirus a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 115,978 Shushirus, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 357,555 per year while the poor average 29,042, a ratio of 12.3 to 1.

Lovesick people are told 'it's not them, it's you', parents often ask to see a credit report before lending money to their own children, glamping Beshichians won't sleep in a tent that doesn't include a Jacuzzi, and a crystal a day keeps the establishment away. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Beshichi's national animal is the sheep, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Beshichi is ranked 46,363rd in the world and 2nd in Sildoria for Lowest Crime Rates, with 75.29 law-abiding acts per hour.
