The Holy Mountain Empire of Berggipfel is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Wernher Strüngmann III with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, triple-decker prams, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 3.194 billion Berggipfelers are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ehrfels. The average income tax rate is 75.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Berggipfelian economy, worth 458 trillion Bergetalers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 143,416 Bergetalers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Refugees from other nations are flocking to Berggipfel's border, genetic research has been halted, young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables, and blood donations have been banned because of the risk of eternal unrest. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Berggipfel's national animal is the Brown Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Berggipfel is ranked 16,186th in the world and 29th in Christians for Highest Poor Incomes, with 100,843.43 Standard Monetary Units.
