The Commonwealth of Braburn is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Osvaldo The IV with an even hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 2.014 billion Braburnians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Braburn City. The average income tax rate is 51.5%.

The thriving Braburnian economy, worth 165 trillion Chronocoins a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 82,015 Chronocoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

The BBI Channel Tunnel project is plagued by delays, families returning from international vacations are unable to get their children back into the country, most voters only see their chosen representative visit once every election cycle, and signatures have been replaced with illegible scribbles. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Braburn's national animal is the Dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity.

Braburn is ranked 77,407^th in the world and 80^th in Covenant Shores for Highest Average Incomes, with 82,015.47 Standard Monetary Units.
