The Confederacy of Brailt is a very large, cultured nation, notable for its infamous sell-swords, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 295 million Brailtians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 79.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Brailtian economy, worth 17.9 trillion defs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 60,825 defs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The realistic depiction of tentacles is on the core syllabus of most art schools, the nation's new currency features full-length portraits of Leader in ermine and velvet garb, there's nothing more rock-and-roll than absolute sobriety, and untold millions of defs are going into a new government-funded maternity leave scheme. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Brailt's national animal is the Komodo dragon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Brailt is ranked 291,000^th in the world and 8^th in Restoros for Least Corrupt Governments, with 78.87 percentage of bribes refused.
