The Socialist Republic of Berglia is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Paulo Roman Henrix with an even hand, and notable for its national health service, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 5.415 billion Berglians 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hellier. The average income tax rate is 90.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Berglian economy, worth 731 trillion Olves a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 135,031 Olves, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

The Museum of Blackacrean War Crimes is located on "Blackacre Did Nothing Wrong Avenue", families are left homeless as entire suburbs are bulldozed on the whim of tribal chiefs, anti-vaxxers claim that injected children are prone to psychotic breaks when they see the 'Queen of Diamonds' playing card, and soldiers must key in their passwords every time they want to reload their weapons. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Berglia's national animal is the Mountain hare, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Berglia is ranked 23,460^th in the world and 71^st in United Kingdom for Safest, scoring 112.28 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
