The Empire of the BB of BrightonBurg is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Kaiser Janos II with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, pith helmet sales, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 44.99 billion BrightonBurgians 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 minute, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Greater Brightonburg City. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient BrightonBurgian economy, worth an astonishing 23,163 trillion Silver Coins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is a breathtaking 514,866 Silver Coins, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,437,115 per year while the poor average 64,322, a ratio of 37.9 to 1.

Agricultural employees work for peanuts, old warplanes and tanks that break down can't be repaired since no one makes the parts anymore, the nation's prisons are touted as the best weight loss programs money can't buy, and prison libraries are being replaced with interrogation chambers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. BrightonBurg's national animal is the Boar, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Holy Orange Catholic Church ⛪.

BrightonBurg is ranked 29,666th in the world and 13th in One big Island for Lowest Crime Rates, with 82.7 law-abiding acts per hour.
