The Kingdom of Bergundtal is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by King Artur von Axmann with an even hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The devout population of 10.111 billion Bergundtalers enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Falkenhorst. The average income tax rate is 33.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Bergundtaler economy, worth 392 trillion Reichsmarks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 38,864 Reichsmarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens select which government department gets their income tax Reichsmarks each year, scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway, the government is funding experimental battery technology while the power grid continues to crumble, and restaurant owners fear visits from government officials more than the actual food critics. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bergundtal's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Wotanism.

Bergundtal is ranked 94,119^th in the world and 20^th in The Reich for Highest Food Quality, scoring 24.2 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
