The Protectorate of Berkovia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Lord Protector Viktor Kolarov with an iron fist, and notable for its closed borders, infamous sell-swords, and avant-garde cinema. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 4.041 billion Berkovians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Law & Order, although Administration, Defense, and Education are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Berkovia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 55.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Berkovian economy, worth 430 trillion Nareses a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 106,587 Nareses, with the richest citizens earning 6.4 times as much as the poorest.

The justice of Berkovia is considered superior to that of other nations, the number of students attending university has reached a record high, long-wed spouses often regret proposals they made when they were twenty, and boys who even ask about cheerleading are placed on the Sex Offenders Register. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Berkovia's national animal is the Imperial Snow Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Berkovia is ranked 17,070^th in the world and 1,093^rd in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 92.22 law-abiding acts per hour.
