Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Kingdom of Bjrjczsjya is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its devotion to social welfare. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 893 million hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 49%, but much higher for the wealthy. A small but healthy private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

The study of medicine is popular throughout Bjrjczsjya, artists are pillars of society, the government has ordered a moratorium on referenda, and teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers. Crime is relatively low. Bjrjczsjya's national animal is the eagle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the krojnmark.

Bjrjczsjya is ranked 34th in Maredoratica and 74,136th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -1 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
