The Peace Loving Nation of Berzerkeley California is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its frequent executions, anti-smoking policies, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 20.308 billion Berzerkeley Californians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Social Policy. The income tax rate is 100%.

The Berzerkeley Californian economy, worth a remarkable 4,443 trillion recyclable cans a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 218,799 recyclable cans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The government's official position on invasive species is 'who cares?', all new "spies" are fifteen-year-old acne-ridden kids on computers, UFO sightings are listed daily in the morning news, and new funding allows inner city teachers to replace school laptops almost as fast as they get stolen. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Berzerkeley California's national animal is the wild turkey, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Berzerkeley California is ranked 234^th in the world and 10^th in Lazarus for Most Pacifist, with 302.89 cheeks turned per day.
