The Commonwealth of BCC 74 is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 385 million BCC 74ians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Public Transport. The average income tax rate is 22.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient BCC 74ian economy, worth 12.1 trillion pounds a year, is led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Soda Sales, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 31,327 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Surveillance cameras are banned, organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests, and political shows are fit for purpose. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. BCC 74's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

BCC 74 is ranked 278,554^th in the world and 8,412^th in Suspicious for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -64.03 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
