The Free Land of Bearfall is a massive, genial nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.768 billion ursus are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 66.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient ursine economy, worth 66.4 trillion florins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Tourism, Book Publishing, Furniture Restoration, and Soda Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 37,569 florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Even secular ursus are shouting "Blessed are the cheesemakers!", streakers swamp all public events in order to bare it all, conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings, and citizens are remarkably well involved in the political process. Crime is totally unknown. Bearfall's national animal is the bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bearfall is ranked 215,967^th in the world and 488^th in The Leftist Assembly for Largest Information Technology Sector, scoring 786.92 on the Fann-Boi Productivity Index.
