The Sultanate of Bijouver is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, compulsory military service, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 1.501 billion Bijouverians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 39.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Bijouverian economy, worth 166 trillion Berries a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 111,027 Berries, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 463,871 per year while the poor average 17,330, a ratio of 26.8 to 1.

Cleaners are very careful not to bump into the big red button on Leader's desk, the automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts, business meetings across the country are interrupted by the sound of squeaking whoopee-cushions, and a major religion has been named as Bijouver's national religion. Crime is totally unknown. Bijouver's national animal is the Turtle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Bijouver is ranked 214,714th in the world and 26th in Benigtopia for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -4.47 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
