The City of Bourges is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, keen interest in outer space, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-working, devout population of 3.596 billion Berruyers are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The relatively small, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bourges. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 13.6%.

The very strong Berruyer economy, worth 257 trillion francs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 71,683 francs, with the richest citizens earning 8.7 times as much as the poorest.

It's a marvellous night for a moon dance as the sparks on your home start to rise, political clichés like "band-aid solutions" and "adrenaline shots to the economy" are headed for the dumpster, high school bands practice by moonlight, and a major religion has been named as Bourges's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force. Bourges's national animal is the bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bourges is ranked 60,780^th in the world and 2^nd in Cities for Nicest Citizens, with 16.66 average smiles per day.
