The Commonwealth of Beretand is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, soft-spoken computers, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.095 billion Beretandics 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 Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Blue Mountain. The average income tax rate is 92.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Beretandian economy, worth 118 trillion Euros 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 mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 108,341 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

More sidewalk is dedicated to animals than people, vast amounts of energy are expended moving water to hilltop lakes, the most penniless demographics have by far the highest number of researchers per capita, and the government's economic policy can be summed up as "Abort, Retry, Fail?". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Beretand's national animal is the Lundgren Dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Beretand is ranked 10,142^nd in the world and 36^th in Spiritus for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 3,265.67 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
