The Armed Republic of Overbear is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Commander Overbear with an iron fist, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, public floggings, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 39.45 billion Overbearians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The tiny, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order and Education also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Overbear City. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Overbearian economy, worth an astonishing 10,292 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 260,901 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 861,232 per year while the poor average 59,131, a ratio of 14.6 to 1.

Woodland critters flock to the safety of unfamiliar humans wearing lab-coats, patch v22.1705 - all developers are now paid for work, Big Beef has a steak in national politics, and people transfer their assets to bank accounts in Manamana before getting divorced. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Overbear's national animal is the bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Overbear is ranked 1,465^th in the world and 1^st in The Commonwealth Of Furry Peoples for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 8,990.56 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
