The CoKoVe Triumverate Origins of Berzerker is a titanic, safe nation, remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 17.285 billion Berzerkerians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 59.8%.

The all-consuming Berzerkerian economy, worth a remarkable 1,471 trillion somethings a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 85,115 somethings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Infantry are nicknamed "mushrooms" because they get fed crap and are left in the dark, citizens with artificial limbs are forbidden to serve as beauty pageant judges, edutainment video games are taking Berzerker's students to the next level, and prodigal children celebrate as charitable bequests plummet. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Berzerker's national animal is the something else, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Berzerker is ranked 227,138^th in the world and 3^rd in Asgard for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -5.55 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
