The Empire of Beareldon is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by King O of Beareldon with an even hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, pith helmet sales, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 1.66 billion Beareldonians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Beareldonia. The average income tax rate is 41.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Beareldonian economy, worth 224 trillion Quounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 135,030 Quounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Baiting is a national sport, there's nothing more gay than bleeding for your nation, rural communities are all but disenfranchised as politicians focus all their attention on winning the deciding urban votes, and the freedom to be free is always just out of reach. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Beareldon's national animal is the Brown Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Beareldon is ranked 195,084^th in the world and 8,043^rd in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 350.52 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
