The Colony of Bergamote is a mammoth, efficient nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion, restrictive gun laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 8.917 billion Bergamoteans enjoy frequent elections, which are uniformly corrupted by big-spending corporations buying politicians who best suit their interests.

The tiny, moralistic, pro-business, outspoken government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Healthcare, and Welfare also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.2%.

The very strong Bergamotean economy, worth 597 trillion districtas a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 67,051 districtas, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 262,325 per year while the poor average 11,675, a ratio of 22.5 to 1.

Organ donation is compulsory, all major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, and scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Bergamote's national animal is the quick pink fox, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Bergamote is ranked 264,435^th in the world and 1^st in Bergamote for Highest Poor Incomes, with 11,675.67 Standard Monetary Units.
