The Emirate of Beta Three is a mammoth, pleasant nation, renowned for its frequent executions, zero percent divorce rate, and suspicion of poets. The quiet, industrious population of 5.157 billion Beta Threeans 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, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 28.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Beta Threean economy, worth 197 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Soda Sales, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 38,257 Delta Eagles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Candlelit dinners are less romantic with a flickering LED, adultery has been made a capital offence, friendly fire incidents usually result in severe burns, and pilots always remember to send their doctors a Maxxmas card. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Beta Three's national animal is the Kitsune, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Beta Three is ranked 157,896^th in the world and 3^rd in Ten for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 820.17 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
