The Empire of Beriwen is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Cordelia Scott with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, complete lack of prisons, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful population of 18.007 billion Beriwenians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Siville. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Beriwenian economy, worth a remarkable 4,454 trillion Beriens a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 247,384 Beriens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Vacationers and business travelers are often warned that they may lose the right to vote if they spend too much time overseas, building a phallus out of Minecraft blocks counts as indecent exposure, gardeners must genetically test weeds for unique traits before digging them up, and citizens are strongly encouraged to breathe less so as to limit the carbon footprint. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Beriwen's national animal is the Moose, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Lutheran Christianity.

Beriwen is ranked 969th in the world and 24th in Europe for Smartest Citizens, with 244.35 quips per hour.
