The People's Republic of Bieke

“Plátano, tierra y libertad”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The People's Republic of Bieke is a massive, cultured nation, remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, ubiquitous missile silos, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 1.081 billion Biekeans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Coamo. The average income tax rate is 80.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Biekean economy, worth 118 trillion cemíeses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 109,931 cemíeses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A faint smell of body odour can be detected at several miles' distance from the National Science Park, the nation's only university is the School of Hard Knocks, citizens try to pass off bottlecaps they found in their backyards as historical artifacts, and military minds worry that 'the blue screen of death' on brand new operating systems may be a literal description. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bieke's national animal is the jutía, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bieke is ranked 9,485^th in the world and 347^th in The Communist Bloc for Nicest Citizens, with 34.23 average smiles per day.
