The Semi-Constitutional Monarchy of Berukio Imperiuk is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by King Dante Kriska II with an iron fist, and renowned for its ritual sacrifices, keen interest in outer space, and avant-garde cinema. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 16.231 billion Caerokians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Merum. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 45.3%.

The all-consuming Caerokian economy, worth a remarkable 1,422 trillion Caerokian Crons a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 87,614 Caerokian Crons, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 312,885 per year while the poor average 17,629, a ratio of 17.7 to 1.

Rugby players that knock each other over always stop to make sure the other fellow is okay, a cyber-war between file sharers and the music industry formats hard drives across the country, soldiers on first dates introduce themselves only by their ranks and serial numbers, and videogames like 'Equalia: Knights of Self-Confidence' are proving inexplicably unpopular. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Berukio Imperiuk's national animal is the Cyan Swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Ultruism.

Berukio Imperiuk is ranked 264,116th in the world and 111th in Aceon for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -6.17 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
