The Empire of Berimania is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Emperor Adler I with an iron fist, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, complete lack of prisons, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cynical population of 4.415 billion Berimanians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Germania. The average income tax rate is 71.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Berimanian economy, worth 541 trillion Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 122,644 Marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Shaken martini sales have soared in nations surrounding Berimania, the general public only knows their favorite politician's first name, the nation's leader is normally just referred to as "snuggle-wuggle-huggy-bear", and election ballot papers are so long that unused ones are recycled as toilet roll. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Berimania's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Berimania is ranked 181,065^th in the world and 111^th in Fifth Empire for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 35,321.53 Standard Monetary Units.
