The Community of Bear is a mammoth, genial nation, renowned for its frequent executions, zero percent divorce rate, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate population of 8.853 billion Bearians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Social Policy, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 22.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Bearian economy, worth 526 trillion rubles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, and Information Technology. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 59,456 rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

A historic rise in the minimum wage has crushed the economy with inflation, the tightness of border controls in Bear leave a little to be desired, families are left homeless as entire suburbs are bulldozed on the whim of tribal chiefs, and the military struggles with recruitment. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bear's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bear is ranked 262,971^st in the world and 143^rd in Safari for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -6.78 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
