The State of Bi is a gargantuan, pleasant nation, ruled by the Governor with an even hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 12.702 billion Bians 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 Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Columbia Heights. The average income tax rate is 23.6%.

The Bian economy, worth 525 trillion betales a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 41,341 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

The Department of Reduction of Bureaucratic Red Tape has set up a working committee to investigate its own excessive paperwork, refugees from other nations are flocking to Bi's border, child adoption by homosexual couples has been outlawed, and dancing with your first cousin is a misdemeanor. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bi's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Bi is ranked 112,277^th in the world and 48^th in Omega Prime for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 80 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
