The Republic of The Beekman is a colossal, genial nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 6.397 billion Beekmanians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 43.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The large but underdeveloped Beekmanian economy, worth 219 trillion US Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 34,366 US Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, all major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, organ donation is compulsory, and anti-vaxxers claim that injected children are prone to psychotic breaks when they see the 'Queen of Diamonds' playing card. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. The Beekman's national animal is the cow.
The Beekman is ranked 43,620th in the world and 1st in Comet Ping Pong Pizza for Most Stationary, with 1,018.29682745628 days.
