The Empire of 3rd Infantry Brigade is a huge, orderly nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 900 million 3rd Infantry Brigadeans 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, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 49.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped 3rd Infantry Brigadean economy, worth 23.8 trillion Gems 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 a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Uranium Mining, Retail, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. 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 26,389 Gems, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Every political party claims that their platform is based on divine revelation, motorists' locations are constantly tracked by intelligence and law enforcement agencies, welfare funding has recently gone through the roof, and police wait behind troop deployments in order to shoot deserters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 3rd Infantry Brigade's national animal is the Italian Cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

3rd Infantry Brigade is ranked 174,023^rd in the world and 9^th in Cracker Barrel for Fattest Citizens, with 9.71 Obesity Rate.
