The State of Braelyn is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by the Governor with an even hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, complete lack of prisons, and enforced nudity. The compassionate population of 46.626 billion Braelynians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. The average income tax rate is 77.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Braelynian economy, worth a remarkable 2,782 trillion betales a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 59,667 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Thousands of cute furry kittens are trampling everything in their path (Braelyn has found 2 easter eggs), the people are famous throughout the region for their bleached-white teeth, religious organizations are being forced to leave the country or pay income taxes like everybody else, and the government's suicide hotline now redirects callers to local tax lawyers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Braelyn's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Braelyn is ranked 190,907^th in the world and 1^st in Braelyn for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -2.05 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
