The Federal Republic of Berlitria is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Mikhail Zayev Vakhrushev with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 30.382 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 enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lindenberg. The average income tax rate is 78.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Berlitrian economy, worth a remarkable 2,706 trillion Krushes a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 89,098 Krushes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

The running costs of homeless shelters are so high that it would be cheaper to buy houses for the homeless, unemployed political consultants and advertisers spend every election night weeping for the good old days, anti-vaxxers claim that injected children are prone to psychotic breaks when they see the 'Queen of Diamonds' playing card, and college students make ends meet by selling their kidneys. 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, and its national religion is Christian.

Berlitria is ranked 290,319^th in the world and 10,945^th in Osiris for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -14.97 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
