The Republic of Brooks Baxter is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by District Governor with a fair hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and irreverence towards religion. The democratic population of 30.911 billion Brooks Baxterians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District City. The average income tax rate is 22.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Brooks Baxterian economy, worth a remarkable 1,039 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 33,621 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Brooks Baxter has designated District City as its capital city, District Governor has just been declared ruler of Brooks Baxter in an international press conference, the Brooks Baxter Automotive Racing Series draws millions of spectators annually while those near the tracks complain about the noise, and the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Brooks Baxter's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Brooks Baxter is ranked 240,741^st in the world and 4^th in Arkansas for Most Developed, scoring 51.88 on the Human Development Index.
