The Republic of Branulia is a mid-sized, safe nation, renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 67 million Branulians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Education, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.8%.

The thriving Branulian economy, worth 5.86 trillion crosses a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 87,537 crosses, with the richest citizens earning 7.8 times as much as the poorest.

'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of Branulia's radio stations, short shrift is being given to applications for political asylum from illegal immigrants, would-be emigrants are told "abandon all hope all ye who would exit here", and losing your sock key may require surgical intervention. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Branulia's national animal is the harpy, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Branulia is ranked 197,149^th in the world and 314^th in Edoca for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 508.86 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
