The Republic of Beroun is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its enslaved workforce, soft-spoken computers, and prohibition of alcohol. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 1.085 billion Berounians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 70.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Berounian economy, worth 105 trillion Ducats a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Tourism. Average income is 97,208 Ducats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Foreign leaders' Twitcher accounts are monitored for potential threats to national security, law schools are hurrying to teach the "prank defense" to their students, the Berounian government is the world's largest NGO, and the sun rises an hour later on border communities. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Beroun's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Beroun is ranked 39,263^rd in the world and 157^th in Novaya Zemlya for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,294.36 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
