The High Technocracy of The Bermudan Pentagram is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Bartram Pentos with an iron fist, and remarkable for its soft-spoken computers, irreverence towards religion, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 23.314 billion Pentagrians 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 relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lorn. The average income tax rate is 62.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Pentagrian economy, worth a remarkable 7,328 trillion Pieces of Five a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Information Technology, Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 314,326 Pieces of Five, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.
Motivational posters send motorists positive vibes in high-risk areas, heartfelt sentiments are mercilessly marketed by a million-Piece of Five treacle machine, it takes a village to catch a criminal, and the nation excels at displacement. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. The Bermudan Pentagram's national animal is the Pentapus, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Vague Disappointment.
The Bermudan Pentagram is ranked 71,966th in the world and 4th in Suns Reach for Lowest Crime Rates, with 69.78 law-abiding acts per hour.
