The Empire of Brecland is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Queen Victoria with an even hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, zero percent divorce rate, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, devout population of 17.268 billion Breclanders 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 72.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Brecish economy, worth a remarkable 1,597 trillion shillings a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 92,521 shillings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Dog owners proudly declare that their pups can predict when the mailman will arrive, passwords to nuclear codes must now contain upper and lower case characters, farmers have taken to hunting billionaires who encroach on their land, and social media sites prompt users to send birthday greetings to unresponsive nonagenarians. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Brecland's national animal is the stag, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is united Christianity.

Brecland is ranked 292,969th in the world and 10,123rd in Osiris for Most Stationary, with 2.05181813128 days.
