The State of Bhoersmen is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 40.064 billion Bhoersmenians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The minute, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Industry, with Welfare and Education also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Columbia Heights. The average income tax rate is 5.4%.

The strong Bhoersmenian economy, worth a remarkable 1,838 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Pizza Delivery, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 45,890 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, genetic researchers have been expelled, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, and Bhoersmen has designated Columbia Heights as its capital city. Crime is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Bhoersmen's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Bhoersmen is ranked 117,344^th in the world and 1^st in Rhodesian Heritage for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 85.73 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
