The Federation of Beverly Picard is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Blazin' Bev with a fair hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, smutty television, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic population of 9.833 billion Beverages are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of San Francisco. The average income tax rate is 67.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Beverage economy, worth 545 trillion Blazin' Bev's hyposprays a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Cheese Exports, and Trout Farming. Average income is 55,520 Blazin' Bev's hyposprays, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The best way to be heard in politics is to speak softly and carry a big comedy prop, five-year-olds who refuse to line up on command get gold stars, students consistently complain that the wi-fi ate their homework, and confessions don't count if suffixed with "izzle". Crime is totally unknown. Beverly Picard's national animal is the Spot, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Hot Toddyism.

Beverly Picard is ranked 50,376th in the world and 489th in Balder for Most Stationary, with 896.99736342132 days.
