The People's Republic of A Betrayal Unforetold is a colossal, safe nation, remarkable for its parental licensing program and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 8.924 billion Betrayal Unforetoldians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 34.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Betrayal Unforetoldian economy, worth 347 trillion Deneroes a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Soda Sales, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 38,924 Deneroes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is on the rise as online youths compete to vlog the most shocking scenes of violence, wigged-out hunters report playing croquet with the Queen of Hearts, scavengers with burlap sacks and shovels skulk around graveyards, and disadvantaged neighbourhoods have become no-go areas after sundown. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. A Betrayal Unforetold's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

A Betrayal Unforetold is ranked 197,098^th in the world and 3,543^rd in Artificial Solar System for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 143.1 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
