The State of Brackenbirk is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Governor with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 39.732 billion Brackenbirkians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business government prioritizes Environment, although Education, Welfare, and Defense are also considered important, while Spirituality and Administration aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Columbia Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.4%.

The thriving Brackenbirkian economy, worth a remarkable 1,715 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Soda Sales. Average income is 43,180 betales, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 181,683 per year while the poor average 6,659, a ratio of 27.3 to 1.

Tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests, citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked, Brackenbirk has designated Columbia Heights as its capital city, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of Brackenbirk in an international press conference. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Brackenbirk's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Brackenbirk is ranked 317,393^rd in the world and 1^st in Biafra for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring zero on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
