The Capitalistic-Communist rise of Brunissia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Ivan Lev Sidorov with an iron fist, and remarkable for its teetotalling pirates, anti-smoking policies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 1.744 billion Brunissians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Brutflitru. The average income tax rate is 68.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Brunissian economy, worth 222 trillion Brunissian Brunis a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 127,798 Brunissian Brunis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Mall countdown clocks warn that there are only 364 more shopping days until Maxxmas, the government is lending a hand to private industry, Gray Wolf Seryy Volk is one of the most popular forenames in Brunissia, and a state-funded project is investigating whether the moon is made of cheese. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Brunissia's national animal is the Gray Wolf Seryy Volk, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Christianity.

Brunissia is ranked 33,662^nd in the world and 1^st in The Union of Equality and Wealth for Most Patriotic, with 36.04 flags saluted per person per day.
