The USSS Region of Bresta is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by the chief of region Pioter Januszowicz with an even hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, complete lack of prisons, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, devout population of 12.412 billion Brestian Slavs 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Novij Brest. The average income tax rate is 49.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Brestian economy, worth a remarkable 1,318 trillion denars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 106,227 denars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers, this year's comedy award has left mothers-in-law seething, captains must wait until all rats are safe before jumping ship, and main battle tanks stalk the woods of Bresta in search of ducks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bresta's national animal is the duck, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is the Brestian Orthodox Christian Church.

Bresta is ranked 52,174^th in the world and 3,139^th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 73.57 law-abiding acts per hour.
