The United Cantons of Bergiervile is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Prime Minister Francine Huntingdon with an even hand, and notable for its deadly medical pandemics, complete absence of social welfare, and exploding hoverboards. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 1.794 billion Bergiervillers are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, pro-business government prioritizes Industry, with Administration and Education also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Laurentien. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Bergiervilean economy, worth 205 trillion marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 114,296 marks, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 641,482 per year while the poor average 10,083, a ratio of 63.6 to 1.

Blind dates reemerge as a necessary evil in the quest for love, the government finds the idea of having an army to be rather distasteful, third world countries are rich in "I Love Laurentien" t-shirts, and the secret ingredient is love (and MSG). Crime is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Bergiervile's national animal is the swan, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Lutheranism.

Bergiervile is ranked 212,452^nd in the world and 71^st in Aesica for Largest Populations, with 1.79 billion capita.
