The Republic of Bravilas is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, public floggings, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 7.758 billion Bravilasians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 53.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Bravilasian economy, worth 459 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Basket Weaving, and Information Technology. Average income is 59,271 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Graffiti artists spend lengthy periods of time in jail, business is banging at no-tell motels, young people suspect their parents might be a little bit stupid, and edutainment video games are taking Bravilas's students to the next level. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bravilas's national animal is the lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Bravilas is ranked 67,119^th in the world and 2^nd in Is that a region for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,524.66 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
