The Empire of BJ1 is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its burgeoning bovina population. The hard-working population of 6.409 billion BJ1ians 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 Education, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 20.7%.

The BJ1ian economy, worth 279 trillion aurums a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Pizza Delivery, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 43,568 aurums, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, and it is illegal for police officers to carry out searches due to strict privacy laws. Crime is moderate. BJ1's national animal is the bovina, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

BJ1 is ranked 174,592^nd in the world and 1^st in Beijing city for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 325.59 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
