The Short Stacc of BearStackof2015 is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Panda with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, soft-spoken computers, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 3.207 billion BearStacks hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bearstonia. The average income tax rate is 97.5%.

The frighteningly efficient BearStackian economy, worth 587 trillion Roombas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 183,114 Roombas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The recital of citations that follows any political speech can be longer than the speech itself, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, foreign casinos have trouble paying fans who bet on the Bearstonia BearStacks' triumph against long odds, and both diets and economic output are growing leaner with recent restrictions to free trade. Crime is totally unknown. BearStackof2015's national animal is the BearStack, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

BearStackof2015 is ranked 170,242^nd in the world and 6,409^th in The East Pacific for Most Pro-Market, scoring -64.33 on the Rand Index.
