The Socialist Autocracy of Bridgermance is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Elliott Bavari with an iron fist, and remarkable for its triple-decker prams, public floggings, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 3.218 billion Bridgermanceans 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Luminos City. The average income tax rate is 60.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Bridgermancean economy, worth 310 trillion Nontens 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 a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. 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 96,637 Nontens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens living in underground cities have developed a healthy green glow, children are encouraged to fail at school so as not to appear too enlightened, mining safety laws are often more expensive than what's being mined, and bins outnumber trees in city parks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bridgermance's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Miaden.

Bridgermance is ranked 13,795^th in the world and 80^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Patriotic, with 56.13 flags saluted per person per day.
