The Republic of Bergonnia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Maximus Aquila with an even hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, free-roaming dinosaurs, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 16.41 billion Bergonnians 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 Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bernside. The average income tax rate is 91.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Bergonnian economy, worth a remarkable 2,488 trillion Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 151,623 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Diplomatic fallout tends to be much more dangerous than radioactive fallout, things are looking up for patients accidentally prescribed erectile dysfunction medication, soldiers' positions are given away by the glint of their bayonets, and it's considered providence that the political lexicon contains a syrup of company slogans. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bergonnia's national animal is the Bergonnian Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Bergonnia is ranked 9,166th in the world and 7th in New Western Atlantic for Highest Food Quality, scoring 166.86 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
