The Empire of Berijonwa is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its frequent executions. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 308 million Berijonwans 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 relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jurtonia. The average income tax rate is 14.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Berijonwan economy, worth 13.1 trillion kayhs a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Cheese Exports, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 42,592 kayhs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Berijonwa's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, companies flee the nation rather than pay their fair share of taxes, the government officially wants you to slow down and speak more clearly, and military strategists are questioning the wisdom of subsidizing the economies of sworn enemies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Berijonwa's national animal is the donkey, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Berijonwa is ranked 108,320^th in the world and 2,246^th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 81.85 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
