The White Dragon Republic of Brunssum is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by The Village Idiot with a fair hand, and notable for its vat-grown people, rampant corporate plagiarism, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 17.766 billion Brunssumians 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 medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Administration, Industry, and Environment are also considered important, while Spirituality and Law & Order are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Prince Hendrik. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Brunssumian economy, worth a remarkable 6,085 trillion Bitcoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 342,524 Bitcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government officials sit helplessly as they are labelled 'Pompous Womples' by celebrities, new urban roads are threatening city parks, sales of disinfectant wipes have skyrocketed, and much of Brunssum's computer network is controlled by a rampant artificial intelligence. Crime is totally unknown. Brunssum's national animal is the Furby, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Pastafarianism.

Brunssum is ranked 11,916th in the world and 241st in The North Pacific for Most Stationary, with 2,096.6592136928 days.
