The Grand Imperial Union of Bernova is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Nafisé Jean-Alexander Mansur with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, otherworldly petting zoo, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 5.74 billion Bernovans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of North Napoli. The average income tax rate is 94.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Bernovan economy, worth a remarkable 1,012 trillion Khasoens a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 176,434 Khasoens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Rich and poor neighborhoods are divided by the Red Line, graffiti is done with immaculate multi-layer shading, gymnasts are in awe at the amount of hoops army applicants must jump through, and the government proudly leads the world in environmental regulators per capita. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bernova's national animal is the White-bellied Sea Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Multi Religous.

Bernova is ranked 239,304^th in the world and 17^th in The Eternal Order for Greatest Rich-Poor Divides, with 2.11 Rich To Poor Income Ratio.
