The High Technocracy of The Bermudan Pentagram is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Bartram Pentos with an iron fist, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, free-roaming dinosaurs, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 20.838 billion Pentagrians 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 relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lorn. The average income tax rate is 61.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pentagrian economy, worth a remarkable 6,515 trillion Pieces of Five a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Information Technology, Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 312,665 Pieces of Five, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

A shipwreck is everyone's fault but the captain's, the nation has chosen not to live in interesting times, the fattest folk in The Bermudan Pentagram look to be the happiest ones, and international organisations everywhere are united in their condemnation of the nation's zombified military (The Bermudan Pentagram has found 3 easter eggs). Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. The Bermudan Pentagram's national animal is the Pentapus, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Vague Disappointment.

The Bermudan Pentagram is ranked 2,167^th in the world and 1^st in Ainur for Smartest Citizens, with 178.76 quips per hour.
