The Democratic Republic of Brusselstein is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Aryan Vaidya with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, unlimited-speed roads, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 6.733 billion Brusselsteinians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Königsberg. The average income tax rate is 98.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Brusselsteinian economy, worth a remarkable 1,510 trillion Euros a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 224,366 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Tardiness has increased after carpooling was classified as a criminal offense, illegal book-trafficking rings dominate the black market, government ministers are regularly seen in the streets confessing their sins and hammering missiles into plow-shares, and designer cars make no distinction between poor people and speed bumps. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Brusselstein's national animal is the Brusselstenian Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Protestant Christianity.

Brusselstein is ranked 6,713^th in the world and 125^th in Europe for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 5,592.11 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
