The Slippy Filled Archipelago of Bean land is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate population of 667 million Beanishians 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 Welfare, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sliptopia. The average income tax rate is 37.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Bean landian economy, worth 50.4 trillion Slippy inks a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Furniture Restoration, and Information Technology. Average income is 75,536 Slippy inks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Banning party poppers has been a real party pooper, convicted murderers are free to walk the streets provided they attend rehabilitation classes, the government subsidises medicines of mass destruction, and it's harder to qualify for IVF than for a good university. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bean land's national animal is the Slippy, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bean land is ranked 37,317^th in the world and 28^th in Kantrias for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 4,770.08 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
