The United Kingdoms of Brian Boruma is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by King Brian Boru with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, aversion to nipples, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 42.312 billion Borumen are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Spirituality, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kincora. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 67.8%.

The thriving Brian Boruman economy, worth a remarkable 3,108 trillion punts a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 73,473 punts, with the richest citizens earning 8.0 times as much as the poorest.

Only persecuted professionals need apply for asylum, paralegals spend all day Hewlett-Packing attorneys' law briefs, school children are forced to sing the national anthem every morning, and children seem to be getting better at lying these days. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Brian Boruma's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Brian Boruma is ranked 300,790th in the world and 16th in The Scandalian Alliance for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -8.49 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
