The Green Mountain State of Brattleboro Bennington is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Liard with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-working, cynical population of 32.756 billion Brattleboro Benningtonians are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District City. The average income tax rate is 25.4%.

The thriving Brattleboro Benningtonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,591 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 48,591 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

The new national campaign exhorts men to "Show Some Class - Don't Sit On Your Ass", the government's suicide hotline now redirects callers to local tax lawyers, evasive politicians don't fail to strongly commit to not committing to a course of non-inaction, and Liard is convinced that other nations can simply be "junked" (Brattleboro Bennington has found 1 easter egg). Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force. Brattleboro Bennington's national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Brattleboro Bennington is ranked 197,131^st in the world and 2^nd in Vermont for Lowest Crime Rates, with 56.93 law-abiding acts per hour.
