The Holy Blue Zombie of Berovnia is a massive, genial nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 1.266 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Commerce, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Derry. The average income tax rate is 68%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology industry, followed by Book Publishing and Tourism.

Graffiti graces every city's streets, retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites, the automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts, and an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents. Crime is totally unknown. Berovnia's national animal is the Arctic Wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Tuvi.

Berovnia is ranked 17th in Caprecia and 14,935th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
