The Grand Imperial Union of Bernova is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Ashilious Machillies Alfredite with an even hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, free-roaming dinosaurs, and zero percent divorce rate. The compassionate, devout population of 6.109 billion Bernovans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of North Napoli. The average income tax rate is 95.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Bernovan economy, worth a remarkable 1,072 trillion Khasoens a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 175,543 Khasoens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The alien invasion siren sounds eerily like a UFO, clairvoyants and soothsayers find fellowship at their local McRonalds, pension obligations are building, and ride-sharing often involves some passengers sitting on the roof rack. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bernova's national animal is the White-bellied Sea Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Multi Religious.

Bernova is ranked 15,920^th in the world and 4^th in The Eternal Order for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 3,886.35 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
