The Commonwealth of Bergiervile is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Prime Minister Vincent Priestland with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, smutty television, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 1.965 billion Bergiervillers are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, pro-business government prioritizes Industry, with Administration and Education also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kingston. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Bergiervilean economy, worth 224 trillion Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 113,923 Pounds, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 636,182 per year while the poor average 10,164, a ratio of 62.6 to 1.

Third world countries are rich in "I Love Kingston" t-shirts, the secret ingredient is love (and MSG), balaclava manufacturers are held criminally culpable for bank heists, and the nation proudly hosts OstraCon to decide who gets free vacations to the Brancaland tundra. Crime is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Bergiervile's national animal is the Deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Anglican Christianity.

Bergiervile is ranked 226,163rd in the world and 190th in Aesica for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -6 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
