The Empire of Beerk n is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, public floggings, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 429 million Beerk nians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 33.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Beerk nian economy, worth 24.7 trillion Loodfs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 57,683 Loodfs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Religious households enthusiastically use whips in private, the silencing of dissent speaks volumes about the quality of Beerk nian democracy, nocturnal light pollution is mostly blue, and journalists giggle uncontrollably while reporting the nation's drug bonfires. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Beerk n's national animal is the Terror bird, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Beerk n is ranked 32,032^nd in the world and 49^th in Christians for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 4,471.83 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
