The Confederacy of Brailt is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its pith helmet sales, lack of airports, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 215 million Brailtians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 77.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Brailtian economy, worth 10.0 trillion defs 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 a slick, highly efficient, highly specialized black market in Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. 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 46,619 defs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government bureaucrats shut down teenage yard-raking businesses for being counter-revolutionary, in life full of care there is no time to stop and stare, religious turf wars have caused frustrated police to pray for divine intervention, and the freedom to be free is always just out of reach. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Brailt's national animal is the Komodo dragon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Brailt is ranked 280,493rd in the world and 7th in Restoros for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -6.47 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
