The Protectorate of Breque is a very large, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, smutty television, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 341 million Brequeans 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, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Brequia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.3%.

The very strong Brequean economy, worth 19.8 trillion bribes a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 58,153 bribes, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 265,864 per year while the poor average 7,747, a ratio of 34.3 to 1.

Official government guidance encourages binge behaviors, the official Brequean Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child, failing businesses often become the sites of unsolved murders, and it's said that a Brequean always pays his debts with significant compounding. Crime is a major problem. Breque's national animal is the Gecko, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Breque is ranked 216,436^th in the world and 6^th in Jexuldej for Least Corrupt Governments, with 91.8 percentage of bribes refused.
