The Community of BBB is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its closed borders, fear of technology, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 13.981 billion BBBians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 26.7%.
The frighteningly efficient BBBian economy, worth a remarkable 1,754 trillion Golds a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 125,515 Golds, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.
Punk-rockers and girl-bands are united in their loss of fashion statements, pop sensation "Jack and the Holograms" is storming the charts, orphanages are closing their doors as the government forces parents to actually raise their children, and beating enemies to death with a baseball bat is legal if done within nine innings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. BBB's national animal is the Elephant, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
BBB is ranked 8,179th in the world and 591st in Balder for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 92,003.19 Standard Monetary Units.
