The Wayside of BearStackof2015 is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Panda with a fair hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, keen interest in outer space, and national health service. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 4.456 billion BearStacks hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bearstonia. The average income tax rate is 98.3%.

The frighteningly efficient BearStackian economy, worth 858 trillion Roombas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 192,732 Roombas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation is committed to nuclear rearmament, abortions are routinely performed in the nation's hospitals, exam halls are littered with used needles and empty pill bottles, and the needs of the living outweigh the needs of the dead. Crime is totally unknown. BearStackof2015's national animal is the BearStack, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

BearStackof2015 is ranked 16,583^rd in the world and 105^th in The East Pacific for Most Politically Free, scoring 89.14 on the Diebold Election Inking Scale.
