The Dictatorship of Brotherhood of nod is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by kane with an iron fist, and notable for its vat-grown people, complete lack of public education, and exploding hoverboards. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 27.585 billion Brotherhood of nodians 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 minute, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, although Industry and Law & Order are also considered important, while Environment and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of sarajevo. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Brotherhood of nodian economy, worth an astonishing 18,157 trillion tiberium crystals a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. Average income is a breathtaking 658,248 tiberium crystals, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 4,107,912 per year while the poor average 44,974, a ratio of 91.3 to 1.

Bug burgers are extra crunchy, actors are arrested and interrogated if they play terrorists on TV, tweenage nobles order army regiments to do their homework for them, and requests to "pass the salt" are supported by tank divisions. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Brotherhood of nod's national animal is the veinhols, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is order of kane.

Brotherhood of nod is ranked 8,095th in the world and 204th in the Rejected Realms for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 11,847.85 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
