The Republic of BCC 8 is a massive, pleasant nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, ban on automobiles, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 2.933 billion BCC 8ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 33.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The BCC 8ian economy, worth 136 trillion pesos a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Cheese Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 46,550 pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

The nation is constantly threatened with invasion but at least homosexuality in the military isn't a problem, cash-strapped junkies lick rabbits for a cheap high, puppies given out free in marketing promotions are often tossed straight into the trash, and girls who wear lipstick are berated for pandering to male gazes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. BCC 8's national animal is the parrot, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

BCC 8 is ranked 225,365^th in the world and 8^th in The Regency of Termina for Nicest Citizens, with 6.19 average smiles per day.
