The Free Bears of Bears Armed is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by ChairBear of the High Council with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, public floggings, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 39.121 billion Bears hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Council Groves. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Urrsish economy, worth an astonishing 14,768 trillion golden thalers a year, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Soda Sales, and Gambling. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 377,501 golden thalers, with the richest citizens earning 8.5 times as much as the poorest.

Nobody thinks that the Godfather was bettered by Part 2, graffiti graces every city's streets, the nation faces constant invasions by foreign boy bands, and the Council Groves Film Festival recently voted 'Bear Getting Hit By Football' as best film. Crime is totally unknown. Bears Armed's national animal is the goldilocks, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is One Plus Seven.

Bears Armed is ranked 255,519th in the world and 58th in International Democratic Union for Fattest Citizens, with 7.76 Obesity Rate.
