The Bruin Biertje of Oerbier is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Oerbier with an iron fist, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-working, cynical population of 25.518 billion Oerbierians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oerbier City. The average income tax rate is 63.1%.

The thriving Oerbierian economy, worth a remarkable 1,956 trillion Oers a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Soda Sales. Average income is 76,690 Oers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Parents live in fear of governmental 'child protection' squads, noises louder than a whisper have been prohibited by law, rumours have it that a secret police is responsible for the recent spate of missing persons, and strange looking men with big red noses are found hiding behind bushes and inside dustbins. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oerbier's national animal is the bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Alcoholism.

Oerbier is ranked 64,105^th in the world and 57^th in Vlaanderen for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 3,018.96 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
