The District of Bersekutu is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Liard with an iron fist, and renowned for its punitive income tax rates, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 22.269 billion Distrixes 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 enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District City. The average income tax rate is 69.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Bersekutuan economy, worth 201 trillion aurums a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is 9,043 aurums, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is seen to favor Catholics, criminals and college students are taking an interest in the government's new weed-killing program, Bersekutu has designated District City as its capital city, and Liard has just been declared ruler of Bersekutu in an international press conference. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bersekutu's national animal is the bovina, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bersekutu is ranked 326,691st in the world and 3rd in Malaysia for Most Developed, scoring 42.85 on the Human Development Index.
