The Republic of Brosk is a mid-sized, safe nation, remarkable for its parental licensing program, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The quiet, industrious population of 98 million Broskians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 33.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Broskian economy, worth 4.58 trillion Cards a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Gambling. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 46,684 Cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's diplomatic missives are now delivered via sniper rifle, the examiners who examine examiners are being examined by examiners, funding for education has been redirected into the military, and the government single-handedly sustains the bunk bed market. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Brosk's national animal is the Card, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Brosk is ranked 81,302^nd in the world and 30^th in Fish Storage for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,857.44 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
