The Free Bears of Bears Armed is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by ChairBear of the High Council with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, lack of airports, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 42.663 billion Bears hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Council Groves. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Urrsish economy, worth an astonishing 16,257 trillion golden thalers a year, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Soda Sales, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 381,076 golden thalers, with the richest citizens earning 8.3 times as much as the poorest.

The government spends countless taxpayer golden thalers on preserving soundbites of toddlers banging on pots and pans, people who eat pizza with lactase supplements are arrested by the flavour police, graffiti is done with immaculate multi-layer shading, and finders keepers is the law of the land. Crime is totally unknown. Bears Armed's national animal is the goldilocks, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is One Plus Seven.

Bears Armed is ranked 264,157th in the world and 50th in International Democratic Union for Least Corrupt Governments, with 90.93 percentage of bribes refused.
