The Constitutional Monarchy of Brendano is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, ban on automobiles, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 274 million Brendanoans 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 62.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Brendanoan economy, worth 15.6 trillion Crowns a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 57,009 Crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Immersive video game experiences are interrupted by incessant disclaimer pop-ups, the consent form for routine blood pressure measurement has been nominated for the 'Novel Of The Year' award, women who walk into the ladies' changing room are accused of being Peeping Toms, and it's never "just a game" with Brendanoan sports fans. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Brendano's national animal is the Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Brendano is ranked 26,038^th in the world and 989^th in The North Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 52.91 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
