The Rogue Nation of Big Bean is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its pith helmet sales, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 3.281 billion Big Beaners are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Central Security Bunker 001. The average income tax rate is 39.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The large but underdeveloped Big Beaner economy, worth 116 trillion Bean Coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 35,607 Bean Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.
Every worker receives exactly the same pay regardless of productivity, streaming video is considered to be a myth by most citizens, society and government have been organized according to a feudal hierarchy, and it takes a village to catch a criminal. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Big Bean's national animal is the Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Big Bean is ranked 133,900th in the world and 2,182nd in the Rejected Realms for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 39.4 Effective Tax Rate.
