The President Emeritus of Bernie Nation is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Santa with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, digital currency, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 16.888 billion Bernie Nationalists 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of North Pole. The average income tax rate is 61.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bernie Nationalist economy, worth a remarkable 3,048 trillion Gold Coins a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 180,514 Gold Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The internal market is thriving, friendly fire incidents usually result in severe burns, Bernie Nationalist watches list strained wrists as a common side effect, and a little pushing and pulling is needed for big ships to pass. Crime is totally unknown. Bernie Nation's national animal is the Zombie, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bernie Nation is ranked 227,327^th in the world and 146^th in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Most Conservative, scoring 46.17 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
