The United Duchies of Brum Brum is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by High Duke Nikolai III with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, unlimited-speed roads, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless, devout population of 23.909 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 is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cair Para. The average income tax rate is 99.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Brum Brumian economy, worth an astonishing 15,971 trillion brummy gems a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 668,010 brummy gems, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Medical staff can legally quiet people who ask for a second helping of Salisbury steak, gift hampers filled with delicious beef jerky are sent to newly communist nations, toast never burns but always has a weird chemical taste, and the nation has declared its intention to "stretch out". 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 2,438th in the world and 4th in European Union for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 19,833.64 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
