The Republic of Brotherland is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Célestine Davin with a fair hand, and notable for its national health service, anti-smoking policies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 13.279 billion Brotherlandians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Brotherland City. The average income tax rate is 97.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Brotherlandian economy, worth a remarkable 1,964 trillion Songs a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 147,925 Songs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is technically inaccurate to call the dead 'worm food', buses are widely regarded as the safest way to travel, therapists can always squeeze in another house-call, and primetime re-runs of The Black and White Minstrel Show are a critical hit. Crime is totally unknown. Brotherland's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Fratracism.

Brotherland is ranked 1,348^th in the world and 38^th in The East Pacific for Least Corrupt Governments, with 96.86 Percentage Of Bribes Refused.
