State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 107,196 Berican Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Glancing at the car radio display while driving is treated as attempted homicide, all-natural foods are becoming a major fad, the government has solemnly sworn not to look up other nations' internet browsing history if the favor is returned, and the rich are once again pinching pennies.

Berica's national animal is the Berican Grizzly Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Evangelicality.

Berica is ranked 248,601^st in the world and 2,460^th in the Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -5.81 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
