The United Duchies of Brum Brum is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by High Duke Nikolai III with an even hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, ubiquitous missile silos, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 24.993 billion Duchians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Law & Order, and Administration are also considered important, while International Aid receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cair Para. The average income tax rate is 99.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Brum Brumian economy, worth an astonishing 16,780 trillion brummy gems a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is a breathtaking 671,391 brummy gems, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Paper and ink publications are subsidised by the government to keep them in the black, customer satisfaction with online delivery services is at an all time high, the education system is being cleansed of all corporate influence, and Cair Para has restaurants serving every meat from aardvark to zebra. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Brum Brum's national animal is the Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Brum Brum is ranked 216,180th in the world and 32nd in European Union for Most Extreme, scoring 13.78 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
