The Republic of Bergmann Group is a very large, orderly nation, notable for its national health service, unlimited-speed roads, and public floggings. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 358 million Bergmann Groupians 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 enormous, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 69.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Bergmann Groupian economy, worth 20.3 trillion American Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 56,786 American Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bergmann Group has the hottest women in the world, Bergmann Groupians ask their doctors whether chili peppers are right for them, 4-year-olds are often found reminiscing about the 'good old days', and human sacrifice to the metaphorical altar of Mammon ensures national prosperity. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bergmann Group's national animal is the Eagle.

Bergmann Group is ranked 190,045^th in the world and 58^th in The Toastic Assembly for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 1,103.64 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
