The Serene Democracy of Bear Connors Paradiso is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Dr Eamer with an even hand, and renowned for its vat-grown people, keen interest in outer space, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 22.205 billion Bears enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The tiny, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Education, with Environment and Industry also on the agenda, while Welfare and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mark Barry Michael. The average income tax rate is 1.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient a Bear economy, worth a remarkable 6,545 trillion euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Tourism, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 294,794 euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Visiting dignitaries make excuses to leave functions early and head to the nearest pub, most pop videos prominently feature the a Bear flag, it's surprisingly hard to find pictures of the bad haircuts from Dr Eamer's childhood, and government officials frequently cut taxes as a distraction from antics with their secretaries. 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 28,892^nd in the world and 744^th in the South Pacific for Highest Drug Use, scoring 103 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
