The Constantly sleep deprived of Bir Matras is a huge, safe nation, ruled by Matis Walkow with a fair hand, and remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 977 million Bir Matrasians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nova Summus. The average income tax rate is 68.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Bir Matrasian economy, worth 77.1 trillion Afris a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is 78,947 Afris, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The standardised national curriculum requires that all-male classes be taught why they have periods, dozens of additional foreign policy specialists have been sent to the country's WA Mission, access to the woods is only granted to those who bring a small shrubbery, and the examiners who examine examiners are being examined by examiners. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bir Matras's national animal is the Fennek, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bir Matras is ranked 178,664^th in the world and 752^nd in Europeia for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 307.64 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
