The Serene Democracy of Bear Connors Paradiso is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Dr Eamer with a fair hand, and notable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, rampant corporate plagiarism, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 24.809 billion Bears live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business government prioritizes Education, although Industry, Environment, and Administration are also considered important, while Welfare and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mark Barry Michael. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.5%.

The frighteningly efficient a Bear economy, worth a remarkable 7,844 trillion euros a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Retail. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an amazing 316,188 euros, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,347,323 per year while the poor average 47,716, a ratio of 28.2 to 1.

Voting for pro-Bigtopian candidates is voluntary, science centers and state of the art laboratories are ubiquitous, burning yourself alive is not okay but starving and whipping yourself is fine, and boot polish is the favourite lip gloss of entry-level corporate workers. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Bear Connors Paradiso's national animal is the swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is agnostic.

Bear Connors Paradiso is ranked 29^th in the world and 4^th in the South Pacific for Highest Crime Rates, with 259.03 crimes per hour.
