OverviewMapFactbookDispatchesPoliciesPeopleGovernmentEconomyRankTrendCards

The Republic of Bergonnia is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Maximus Aquila with an even hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, frequent executions, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 16.149 billion Bergonnians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bernside. The average income tax rate is 90.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bergonnian economy, worth a remarkable 2,458 trillion Dollars a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 152,231 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Diplomatic fallout tends to be much more dangerous than radioactive fallout, things are looking up for patients accidentally prescribed erectile dysfunction medication, soldiers' positions are given away by the glint of their bayonets, and it's considered providence that the political lexicon contains a syrup of company slogans. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bergonnia's national animal is the Bergonnian Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Bergonnia is ranked 14,995th in the world and 13th in New Western Atlantic for Most Cultured, scoring 101 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
