Structure

History
The democracy as we know it today is around 3000 years old. The focus on scholarly knowledge, philosophical theories and the nature of civilisation along with early conflicts with the Shalehal Theocracy shaped Bes into a nation where religion doesn't play a large part in its governing.
Religion
There is no official state religion, and there is religious freedom. In the capital and other larger settlements there are almost no temples, and religious folk are few. Instead, many in the Bes population rever ancestors and take great pride(or shame) in their ancestry.
