The State of Breault is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The cynical population of 24.07 billion Breaultians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 76.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Breaultian economy, worth 103 trillion betales a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Beef-Based Agriculture, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 4,285 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Harry Potter books are banned, elections have been outlawed, organ donation is compulsory, and a dictator has seized power and outlawed elections. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Breault's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Breault is ranked 139,837th in the world and 2nd in Wellington for Most Patriotic, with 10.71 flags saluted per person per day.
