The Kingdom of Saint Berad is a mid-sized, genial nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. The compassionate, devout population of 74 million Saint Beradians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and look forward to their next free and open election, to be held on an as-yet unannounced date.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 28.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Saint Beradian economy, worth 4.20 trillion Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 56,696 Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Torture is illegal, the government is plagued with uncertainty, orphans would rather live their life of luxury than be adopted by prospective parents, and Saint Beradians firmly believe that their heroes never farted or popped their pimples. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saint Berad's national animal is the Bengal.

Saint Berad is ranked 85,186^th in the world and 1,239^th in The East Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 3,831.12 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
