The Prosperous Realm of Addled Braintopia is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Aurelia Konaghan with an even hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 8.286 billion Braintopians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Radiavance. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 28.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Addled Braintopian economy, worth a remarkable 1,437 trillion Doohas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 173,518 Doohas, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 529,256 per year while the poor average 44,122, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

The government loves seeing the little people fight, five-year-olds who refuse to line up on command get gold stars, it's not just poseurs who wear oversized sound-cancelling headphones as they walk the city streets, and apples shaped like baguettes have become a strange new food fad. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Addled Braintopia's national animal is the Grey Jaguar, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Addled Braintopia is ranked 93,812th in the world and 3,333rd in Balder for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 2,178.17 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
