The Kingdom of Brasland is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King Georg IV with an even hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, national health service, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless, devout population of 38.84 billion Braslanders 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 government prioritizes Education, with Law & Order, Defense, and Environment also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Markund. The average income tax rate is 18.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Braslander economy, worth a remarkable 6,051 trillion schilders a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 155,812 schilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
The official Braslander Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child, students do more community service than homework, pieces of iron pyrite are believed to be worth their weight in gold, and travelers are subject to extensive searches if beet stains are visible on their clothing. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Brasland's national animal is the black eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Catholicism.
Brasland is ranked 14,114th in the world and 5th in Western Atlantic for Safest, scoring 117.3 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
