The Dominion of Bourges is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its national health service, compulsory military service, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 420 million Berruyers are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The relatively small, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bourges. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.5%.

The thriving Berruyer economy, worth 32.2 trillion francs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 76,620 francs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 254,071 per year while the poor average 17,249, a ratio of 14.7 to 1.

The government frequently panders to parents with boutique tax credits, the fire protection service is wholly government-funded, glamping Berruyers won't sleep in a tent that doesn't include a Jacuzzi, and Bourges has designated Bourges as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Bourges's national animal is the bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bourges is ranked 93,891^st in the world and 1^st in Cities for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 1,978.32 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
