The Empire of Bramburg is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, infamous sell-swords, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 287 million Bramburgians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 61.9%.

The powerhouse Bramburgian economy, worth 20.9 trillion Marks a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 72,734 Marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

Idyllic countryside scenes see border collies herding sixty-ton dinosaurs, most of the nation's wealthy aristocrats are dentists, citizens wishing to leave the country must surrender half their wealth to the government, and strange lights seen in the sky are officially regarded as weather balloons or hoaxes and nothing else. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bramburg's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Bramburg is ranked 55,966^th in the world and 3,026^th in The North Pacific for Most Secular, with 25.56 Atheism Rate.
