The Fragile Principality of Bearroc is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Tribune Milena Elliston with an iron fist, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, keen interest in outer space, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 20.163 billion Bearrocians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kiville. The average income tax rate is 72.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bearrocian economy, worth a remarkable 1,471 trillion Egabian Pounds 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 large, well-organized, highly specialized black market in Retail, Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. 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 72,978 Egabian Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

The nation honors the inventor of the three-wheeled steam-powered Bearrocian weed picker, Rupert Bear is considered to be the most risqué TV programme in Bearroc, cane fights are a common sight in nursing homes, and in-cite-ment never happens at tea parties. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bearroc's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bearroc is ranked 295,087^th in the world and 8^th in Narnia for Highest Food Quality, scoring 6.36 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
