The Radical Behaviorism of BF Skinner is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Self with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and spontaneously combusting cars. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 33.037 billion BF Skinnerians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Susquehanna Depot. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12.4%.

The frighteningly efficient BF Skinnerian economy, worth a remarkable 6,931 trillion Students a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an amazing 209,821 Students, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,671,078 per year while the poor average 6,263, a ratio of 266 to 1.

One can wake up in BF Skinner and have breakfast in Bigtopia, offering a builder a cup of tea is a legal minefield, wildlife near farms is slowly becoming extinct, and road signs are getting harder to read under layers of knitted woolen cardigans. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. BF Skinner's national animal is the Positive Reinforcement, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Agnostic Pantheism.

BF Skinner is ranked 4,263rd in the world and 364th in NationStates for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 8,683.89 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
