The Republic of Beths Theme is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its enslaved workforce, unlimited-speed roads, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed population of 4.018 billion Beths Themeans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 32.1%.

The strong Beths Themean economy, worth 227 trillion pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 56,618 pounds, with the richest citizens earning 8.5 times as much as the poorest.

Every week is blindness awareness week, people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, if you go into the woods today you're sure of a big surprise, and Beths Theme is increasingly belligerent on the international stage. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Beths Theme's national animal is the lion.

Beths Theme is ranked 71,029^th in the world and 3^rd in The Hyperion Borderlands Union for Highest Economic Output, with 227 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
