The Federal Republic of Berlitria is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Mikhail Zayev Vakhrushev with an even hand, and remarkable for its hatred of cheese, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 30.476 billion Berlitrians 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 enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lindenberg. The average income tax rate is 79.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Berlitrian economy, worth a remarkable 2,742 trillion Krushes a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 90,005 Krushes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The new foreign policy is "why bother invading neighbours when they can be bought wholesale?", there's a shortage of swinging hot spots as land development grinds to a halt, being sent to collections is more dangerous than ever, and rural communities are all but disenfranchised as politicians focus all their attention on winning the deciding urban votes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Berlitria's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christian.

Berlitria is ranked 40,414^th in the world and 2,444^th in Osiris for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 176.34 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
