The Republic of Bergmann Group is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its national health service, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and unlimited-speed roads. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 409 million Bergmann Groupians, 101 million of whom are zombies, 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 large, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 70.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Bergmann Groupian economy, worth 28.2 trillion American Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Tourism. Average income is 69,064 American Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Most believe it doesn't hurt to embrace free trade, glittering new sports stadiums adorn every city and town, the military is slashing spending on conventional arms and diverting it to spending on prosthetic arms, and candlelit dinners are less romantic with a flickering LED. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bergmann Group's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Bergmann Group is ranked 88,532nd in the world and 32nd in The Toastic Assembly for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 7,016.99 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
