The Republic of Brations is a large, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and digital currency. The hard-nosed population of 67 million Bratizilianoes are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The relatively small, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 23.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Bratiziliano economy, worth 4.20 trillion Broedas 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, fairly diversified black market in Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Book Publishing. 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 62,752 Broedas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Traumatised refugees have a full bedpan shoved into their hands along with their immigration papers, notable individuals are granted land and titles, laws are littered with references to cheese, and feuilletons can only be deciphered with a Galliennais dictionary. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Brations's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Brations is ranked 233,370^th in the world and 248^th in Conch Kingdom for Nicest Citizens, with 4.49 average smiles per day.
