The Kingdom of Brasland is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King Georg IV with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, smutty television, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless, devout population of 38.753 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, although Law & Order, Defense, and Environment are also considered important, while Social Policy and Welfare aren't funded at all. 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 6,038 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 276,203^rd in the world and 23^rd in Western Atlantic for Nicest Citizens, with 0.44 average smiles per day.
