The State of Bin Said is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 27.248 billion Bin Saidians 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, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, with Education also on the agenda, while Welfare and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.1%.

The thriving Bin Saidian economy, worth 814 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Cheese Exports, and Soda Sales. Average income is 29,883 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 86,546 per year while the poor average 8,177, a ratio of 10.6 to 1.

Voting is voluntary, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, and Bin Said has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Bin Said's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bin Said is ranked 73,705^th in the world and 1^st in Bin Said for Fattest Citizens, with 12.29 Obesity Rate.
