The Free Bears of Bears Armed is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Chairbear of the High Council with a fair hand, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, free-roaming dinosaurs, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 33.818 billion Bears hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The minute, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Council Groves. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Urrsish economy, worth an astonishing 11,943 trillion golden thalers a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Soda Sales, and Gambling. Average income is an amazing 353,172 golden thalers, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,201,385 per year while the poor average 76,530, a ratio of 15.7 to 1.

Tourists flock to see the giant stone carvings of historical leaders at Mount Rushless, restaurants are required to specify whether their toilet paper was made in Bears Armed, you need two tenors and a coloratura contralto to sing the national anthem properly, and the nation refuses to discard its increasingly useless penny. Crime is totally unknown. Bears Armed's national animal is the goldilocks, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is One Plus Seven.

Bears Armed is ranked 268,542^nd in the world and 114^th in International Democratic Union for Best Weather, with -374 meters of sunlight.
