The Incorporated States of Don Beyer is a gargantuan, pleasant nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, infamous sell-swords, and pith helmet sales. The quiet, industrious population of 11.863 billion Don Beyerians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 35.1%.
The Don Beyerian economy, worth 640 trillion Latinums 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 Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Information Technology. Average income is 54,028 Latinums, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.
Photographs that show ladies' ankles are considered risqué, being impolite in public is punishable by heavy fines, passive-aggressive congratulations cards inform mums-to-be that their pregnancy is their greatest achievement in life, and the military has declared war on all religious influence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Don Beyer's national animal is the Cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Don Beyer is ranked 91,183rd in the world and 38th in The Gallery for Most Stationary, with 497.31028588788 days.
