The Blue Constitutional Monarchy of Bernhard Horwitz is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Bernhard Horwitz with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, barren, inhospitable landscape, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.721 billion Bernhard Horwitzians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Neustrelitz. The average income tax rate is 34.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The thriving Bernhard Horwitzian economy, worth 117 trillion bronze coins a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Information Technology. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 68,191 bronze coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.
The government is using tax revenues to provide jobs for the poor, anti-tourism militias patrol the borders, textbooks are exactly twice as heavy as they used to be, and the Museum of Soybeans is the cultural heart of the nation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bernhard Horwitz's national animal is the bat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.
Bernhard Horwitz is ranked 120,732nd in the world and 7th in Chess Players for Most Ignorant Citizens, with 17.3 missed references per hour.
