The Allied States of Pierre Bernard is a mammoth, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, restrictive gun laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 9.461 billion Pierre Bernardians enjoy frequent elections, which are uniformly corrupted by big-spending corporations buying politicians who best suit their interests.

The tiny, moralistic, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.9%.

The very strong Pierre Bernardian economy, worth 631 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 66,728 betales, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 280,765 per year while the poor average 10,291, a ratio of 27.3 to 1.

Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Pierre Bernard's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Pierre Bernard is ranked 111,572^nd in the world and 1^st in The Royal Alliance for Highest Average Incomes, with 66,728.95 Standard Monetary Units.
