The Federation of Bissell is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate, democratic population of 438 million Bissellians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Welfare, Environment, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality and Defense receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 63.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Bissellian economy, worth 30.8 trillion kronor a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Cheese Exports, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 70,237 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers, grinding bureaucracy has the international wheels of justice turning slowly, therapists can always squeeze in another house-call, and space research funding has hit a recent high while several military bases are being closed down. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bissell's national animal is the seagull, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Bissell is ranked 19,351^st in the world and 606^th in The North Pacific for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 3,409.16 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
