The Kingdom of Berkkish is a colossal, pleasant nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 3.139 billion Berkkishians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.3%.

The Berkkishian economy, worth 194 trillion neus a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Retail, Furniture Restoration, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 61,994 neus, with the richest citizens earning 7.3 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians that report exaggerated crowd sizes for their speeches are dismissed for being delusional, teenagers performing appendectomies on their friends has become a popular schoolyard prank, Leader has been nicknamed 'Robomop', and movie references are legally admissible in court. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Berkkish's national animal is the barambe, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Berkkish is ranked 242,193^rd in the world and 20^th in Vultune for Most Developed, scoring 51.78 on the Human Development Index.
