The Free Bears of Bears Armed is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Chairbear of the High Council with a fair hand, and renowned for its avant-garde cinema, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 33.842 billion Bears hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The frighteningly efficient Urrsish economy, worth an astonishing 11,950 trillion golden thalers a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Soda Sales, and Gambling. Average income is an amazing 353,134 golden thalers, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,199,224 per year while the poor average 76,717, a ratio of 15.6 to 1.
