The Exiled Hivemind Colony of BEEstreetz is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Kate The Queen Bee Mother Giver of Life with an even hand, and notable for its deadly medical pandemics, ubiquitous missile silos, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 4.199 billion streets cold books warm streets enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The tiny, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Burghtownshire streets. The average income tax rate is 6.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient BEEstreetzian economy, worth 423 trillion Edwardian Era Hauntologies a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Retail, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 100,813 Edwardian Era Hauntologies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens drive tank-like vehicles with mounted machine guns, soylent products are an expensive commodity due to a lack of volunteers, for the sake of 'public interest' news programs tell viewers how to home-make Sarin gas bombs, and foragers descend on national cemeteries for 'all-you-can-dig-up' extravaganzas. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. BEEstreetz's national animal is the Bee-Hive, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Katarinalgocracy.

BEEstreetz is ranked 94,864^th in the world and 1,969^th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 88.57 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
