The Most Serene Republic of Bergezia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Doge Carlo Graziani with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, barren, inhospitable landscape, and otherworldly petting zoo. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 2.096 billion Bergezians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Serenissima. The average income tax rate is 58.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bergezian economy, worth 274 trillion Berges a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 131,136 Berges, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Pareidolic SETI scientists swear there's a message from aliens hidden within pi, telling someone to 'break a leg' is considered a criminal inducement to self harm, grocery stores can be audibly identified by the giggling emerging from them, and the government is spending billions of taxpayer Berges to support "struggling" industries. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bergezia's national animal is the Gecko, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Bergezia is ranked 186,722^nd in the world and 7,746^th in The North Pacific for Least Corrupt Governments, with 91.56 Percentage Of Bribes Refused.
