The Queen's State of Berbice is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 33.266 billion Berbiceans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Industry, Welfare, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.5%.

The thriving Berbicean economy, worth a remarkable 1,480 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Book Publishing. Average income is 44,517 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 125,662 per year while the poor average 12,624, a ratio of 10.0 to 1.

Voting is voluntary, citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked, and all tariffs have been abolished. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Berbice's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Berbice is ranked 74,599^th in the world and 259^th in State for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 40.3 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
