The People's Republic of Bieke is a massive, genial nation, renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 1.135 billion Biekeans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Coamo. The average income tax rate is 81.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Biekean economy, worth 122 trillion cemíeses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 108,064 cemíeses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's only university is the School of Hard Knocks, citizens try to pass off bottlecaps they found in their backyards as historical artifacts, military minds worry that 'the blue screen of death' on brand new operating systems may be a literal description, and welfare funding has recently gone through the roof. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bieke's national animal is the jutía, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bieke is ranked 24,555^th in the world and 506^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 7,199.67 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
