The People's Republic of Bridge Contra is a small, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 32 million Bridge Contrans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 41.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Bridge Contran economy, worth 1.66 trillion bids a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 51,847 bids, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

13-year-old internet trolls are treated as a threat on par with terrorists, there's nothing more rock-and-roll than absolute sobriety, faceless corporations are expected to assume parental responsibility over millions of teenagers, and the minority inevitably have their addenda vetoed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bridge Contra's national animal is the Colwyn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bridge Contra is ranked 9,927^th in the world and 200^th in The Leftist Assembly for Safest, scoring 119.69 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
