The United States of Brunoa is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Joe Rosenhardt with an iron fist, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, daily referendums, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 12.53 billion Brunoans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Administration, Law & Order, and Education are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Brundston. The average income tax rate is 73.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Brunoan economy, worth a remarkable 2,692 trillion Brodans a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 214,882 Brodans, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Gay men commonly complain about their time of the month, the nationalistic national anthem inspires citizens to literally spit at foreigners, kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll, and the new 'Things We Stole From Other Countries' exhibition at the National Museum of Antiquities is a hit. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Brunoa's national animal is the Rouge Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Brunoa is ranked 18,642nd in the world and 1,085th in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 94 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
