The Eternal Realm of Brabantum is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Kornelius of Brabantum with an iron fist, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, vat-grown people, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 22.842 billion Brabantians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, 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 Fortress Bolvat. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 27.7%.

The all-consuming Brabantian economy, worth a remarkable 7,515 trillion Filsings a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 329,025 Filsings, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,535,920 per year while the poor average 11,349, a ratio of 223 to 1.

Brabantian watches are often the only thing to survive a disaster intact, legitimate job descriptions now include "smiling and waving", murder comes with a cash prize if the victim was previously incarcerated, and people are always complaining about dam builders running behind schedule. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Brabantum's national animal is the Greater Brabantian Raven, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Lundesdivinism.

Brabantum is ranked 3,235^th in the world and 94^th in Osiris for Largest Black Market, with 3,078 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
