The Awoken Sleeper of Berign is a titanic, efficient nation, notable for its burgeoning Red lotus population. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 10.201 billion Berignians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 14.5%.

The very strong Berignian economy, worth 523 trillion --s a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Automobile Manufacturing, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 51,329 --s, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 160,651 per year while the poor average 12,576, a ratio of 12.8 to 1.

Territories have the right to secede if they aren't happy, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, organ donation is compulsory, and protestors are soaking piles of --s in blood to make a point about government incomes. Crime is a problem. Berign's national animal is the Red lotus.

Berign is ranked 44,301^st in the world and 1^st in Sanctum for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 5,187.77 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
