The Fragile Principality of Bearroc is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Tribune Milena Elliston with an iron fist, and remarkable for its aversion to nipples, ritual sacrifices, and lack of airports. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 20.594 billion Bearrocians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kiville. The average income tax rate is 72.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bearrocian economy, worth a remarkable 1,533 trillion Egabian Pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Tourism, Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 74,451 Egabian Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Veterans' meet-ups involve a lot of tail sniffing, animal liberationists receive government funding to break into animal research labs, a glyph of Tribune Milena Elliston is worth a thousand letters, and almost all of the nation's water is piped into the country from abroad for exorbitant prices. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bearroc's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bearroc is ranked 249,640th in the world and 9th in Narnia for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 537.28 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
