The Dictatorship of Brotherhood of nod is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by kane with an iron fist, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, zero percent divorce rate, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 26.326 billion Brotherhood of nodians 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, prioritizes Defense, although Industry and Law & Order are also considered important, while Environment and Social Policy receive no funds. 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 17,336 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 Gambling, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is a breathtaking 658,539 tiberium crystals, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 4,696,831 per year while the poor average 30,360, a ratio of 154 to 1.

Citizens who become homeless are immediately executed, RPG fans reminisce fondly about when people thought they were evil and dangerous rather than geeky and socially inept, one of the nation's leading exports is empty platitudes, and politicians ponder for at least a minute when asked if they would like sugar in their tea. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. 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 21st in the world and 1st in the Rejected Realms for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 73,463.7 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
