The Federal Republic of Berlitria is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Mikhail Zayev Vakhrushev with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, compulsory military service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 23.56 billion Berlitrians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lindenberg. The average income tax rate is 90.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Berlitrian economy, worth a remarkable 2,154 trillion Krushes a year, is extremely specialized and solely comprised of the Arms Manufacturing industry. Average income is 91,465 Krushes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pilots always remember to send their doctors a Maxxmas card, the people elect the Supreme Court justices directly, trying to toast marshmallows in an electric fireplace just isn't the same, and more sidewalk is dedicated to animals than people. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Berlitria's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Berlitria is ranked 240,074^th in the world and 6,574^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -24.23 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
