The Capitalistic State of Bratola Suru is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by The Pflug with an iron fist, and remarkable for its teetotalling pirates, parental licensing program, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 16.692 billion Bratis are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Brato Laro. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 26.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Bratolian economy, worth a remarkable 6,353 trillion Idol Figurines a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 380,602 Idol Figurines, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,538,584 per year while the poor average 3,759, a ratio of 941 to 1.

There's a mortuary next to every Bratolian restaurant, libraries are refusing to stock A Midsummer Night's Dream because it has an ass in it, home education can sometimes be a load of bullocks, and gossip magazines are more interested in astrological stars than celebrity ones. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Bratola Suru's national animal is the Business Fish, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Herlakism.

Bratola Suru is ranked 812^th in the world and 1^st in The KuK Patriarchy for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 279,361.99 Standard Monetary Units.
