The Armed Republic of B1gmen is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Plastic Man with an iron fist, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, ritual sacrifices, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.308 billion Bes are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Industry also on the agenda, while International Aid and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Badgeria. The average income tax rate is 43.9%.

The powerhouse B1gmenian economy, worth 123 trillion Gold Doubloons a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 94,214 Gold Doubloons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Political activists are routinely executed, taxpayer-funded government ads are promoting Brancaland as a premier filming location, colonists who were promised new lands find only war-torn devastation, and 'Shoot the Villager' has become a popular pastime in the nation's armed forces. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. B1gmen's national animal is the Skeleton, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Destruction.

B1gmen is ranked 57,869th in the world and 21st in The Guild of Generations for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 52,854.43 Standard Monetary Units.
