The Democratic Republic of New Bevia is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 286 million New Bevians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Public Transport. The average income tax rate is 18.4%.

The New Bevian economy, worth 13.2 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Gambling, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 46,288 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

It takes a village to catch a criminal, hordes of tourists are ruining the environment, the subway is dead quiet in early afternoons, and the nation's most "productive" diamond mine hasn't been operational for seven months. Crime is well under control. New Bevia's national animal is the Quail, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

New Bevia is ranked 266,023^rd in the world and 4,278^th in the South Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring -5.48 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
