The Republic of Brasselund is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion and absence of drug laws. The democratic population of 1.758 billion Brasselundians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Brassen. The average income tax rate is 13.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Brasselundian economy, worth 66.6 trillion rubles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Furniture Restoration, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 37,911 rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Voting is voluntary, the jails are alive with the sound of birdsong, euthanasia is legal, and Brasselund has designated Brassen as its capital city. Crime is well under control. Brasselund's national animal is the big dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Brasselund is ranked 272,589^th in the world and 25^th in North Alliance for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -6.48 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
