The Democratic Republic of Berke Khan is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its complete lack of prisons, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 526 million Human Beings hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Babylon. The average income tax rate is 17.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Human economy, worth 68.5 trillion Gold Coins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Gambling. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 130,275 Gold Coins, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.

There have been sightings of people walking around dressed in nothing but leopard-skin g-strings for 'religious reasons', employers are finding it hard to screen candidates now that everyone gets A grades in their exams, teddy bears and pajamas have replaced briefcases and suits in Berke Khan's offices, and defense lawyers suggestively note to juries how flagrantly happy victims were. Crime is almost non-existent. Berke Khan's national animal is the Sloth, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Berke Khan is ranked 49,254^th in the world and 2,075^th in The North Pacific for Healthiest Citizens, with 5.66 bananas ingested per day.
