The Swiftpaw of Brightheart is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Shrewpaw with an iron fist, and remarkable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, state-planned economy, and fear of technology. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.059 billion Brightheartians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Thunder Clan camp. The average income tax rate is 50.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Brightheartian economy, worth 86.5 trillion Preys a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Gambling, Retail, Pizza Delivery, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 81,635 Preys, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Ministers browse Alright! magazine for fashion tips, the nation's train stations are widely considered to be the ugliest in MJT, there is an abondance of ackawi and zartschmelzend in every Brightheartian grocery store, and open-heart surgery is taught in seminaries. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Brightheart's national animal is the Warrior cats, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Star clan.

Brightheart is ranked 124,481st in the world and 44th in MJT for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 40,572.87 Standard Monetary Units.
