The Liberal of the Middle Ages of Brigandy is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.744 billion Brigandians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Erren's Grave. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.5%.

The strong Brigandyian economy, worth 114 trillion Crowns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Cheese Exports, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 65,710 Crowns, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 396,039 per year while the poor average 4,903, a ratio of 80.8 to 1.

The strong are acquitted and the weak are trampled in trial by a Raven, church and state are inseparable in their influence on education, polygraphs are relegated to the dungeon exhibit in castle museums, and Brigandy has designated Erren's Grave as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force. Brigandy's national animal is the Raven.

Brigandy is ranked 101,774^th in the world and 5,468^th in Lazarus for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 3,288.41 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
