The Crossing of Bridge is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and zero percent divorce rate. The compassionate population of 566 million spans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Königsberg. The average income tax rate is 23.4%.

The strong cable-stayed economy, worth 30.3 trillion aqueducts a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 53,475 aqueducts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

Local officials love to claim the protection of their Big Brother, in the mighty jungle the lion once again sleeps tonight, men are enrolling into lady etiquette courses, and citizens insist that there's no law against standing downwind when marijuana crops are burned off. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bridge's national animal is the wildlife crossing, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Bridge is ranked 161,470^th in the world and 16^th in Seinfeld for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 1,232.09 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
