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

The Kingdom of Bertogne BEL is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its compulsory military service, ritual sacrifices, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 1.238 billion Bertogne BELians 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 Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 43.4%.

The very strong Bertogne BELian economy, worth 81.5 trillion euros a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 65,793 euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Forty-year-old men are asked for their ID before watching the latest pony cartoon movies, wandering Bertogne BELians are known for their one-track minds, fashion magazine covers finally display realistic body images following photo-manipulation becoming illegal, and executions often take hours as amateurs attempt to find veins. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bertogne BEL's national animal is the lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Bertogne BEL is ranked 286,160^th in the world and 732^nd in Aerospace for Most Pacifist, with 11.32 cheeks turned per day.
