The Kingdom of BeringFires is a very large, safe nation, notable for its aversion to nipples, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 275 million BeringFiresians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oa. The average income tax rate is 45.9%.

The very strong BeringFiresian economy, worth 18.2 trillion Fires a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 66,223 Fires, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

BeringFires has designated Oa as its capital city, environmental protestors are being rounded up and taken away in sinister black vans as a massive land development campaign gets underway, hospitals fear government fines more than terrorist ransoms, and internet searches for the inventor of the three-wheeled steam-powered BeringFiresian weed picker are way up. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. BeringFires's national animal is the Tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

BeringFires is ranked 123,749^th in the world and 55^th in Lone Wolves United for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 621.83 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
