The Democratic Republic of Bredal is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by President of the Republic Árpád Vörös with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, enslaved workforce, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 8.292 billion Bredaliens 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 prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Law & Order, and Education also on the agenda, while Environment and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Buföldvár. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 71.1%.

The frighteningly efficient bredalien economy, worth a remarkable 4,413 trillion Álings a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is a breathtaking 532,203 Álings, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 4,923,117 per year while the poor average 5,578, a ratio of 882 to 1.

The government has an entire department dedicated to staring at microscopes and writing down letters, homeless people are frequently charged with trespassing on public property, sports club owners are having a moneyball, and virtually all of the country's economic activity takes place in Buföldvár. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bredal's national animal is the Mole, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is State atheism.

Bredal is ranked 186th in the world and 2nd in Calme Ybovien for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 29,302.6 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
