The United Socialist States of Comrade Bernie is a colossal, genial nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical population of 6.291 billion Comrade Bernieans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 66.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Comrade Berniean economy, worth 41.7 trillion labor credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 6,627 labor credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Concussed eagleball players cannot remember their lineup position, meat-eating is frowned upon, preschoolers practice disarming active shooters before naptime, and gambling is outlawed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Comrade Bernie's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Comrade Bernie is ranked 78,204^th in the world and 2^nd in Socialist Union for Safest, scoring 91.59 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
