The Unspecified Civilisation of Bestburg is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 14.297 billion Bestburgians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Environment, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pug City. The average income tax rate is 74.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bestburgian economy, worth a remarkable 2,154 trillion Bestbucks a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 150,691 Bestbucks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Leader has killer fashion sense, official government guidance encourages binge behaviors, a flying elephant and Leader share the same nickname, and one can wake up in Bestburg and have breakfast in Bigtopia. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bestburg's national animal is the cobra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bestburg is ranked 6,529th in the world and 44th in Forest for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 497.72 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
