The Democratic Republic of Bryanad is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 24.372 billion Bryanadians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 80.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Bryanadian economy, worth 524 trillion Dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 21,530 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All industry is owned and run by the government, high-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bryanad's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Bryanad is ranked 98,908^th in the world and 4^th in Atheist Empire for Nicest Citizens, with 13.62 average smiles per day.
