Overview • Factbook • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Democratic Republic of Bernland is a mid-sized, safe nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 69 million Bernlandians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 77.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Bernlandian economy, worth 1.31 trillion nones a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 19,007 nones, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Adults pretending to be teenage girls claim to have wholesome motives, nature reserves often contain artificial waterfalls and concrete paths, the ruling party has a devil of a time keeping order in the ranks, and scrapyards are filled with Leader's face. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bernland's national animal is the ant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bernland is ranked 253,136^th in the world and 773^rd in The Leftist Assembly for Most Cultured, scoring 63 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
