The Commonwealth of Brocahamptia is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, enslaved workforce, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 3.71 billion Brocahamptians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 21.5%.
The frighteningly efficient Brocahamptian economy, worth 515 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 139,027 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 448,599 per year while the poor average 32,585, a ratio of 13.8 to 1.
The nation's biggest export is stupidity, citizens simply have to point a weapon at a government official to get what they want, elections have become procedural nightmares due to voters persistently rejecting candidates, and jumping in puddles after rainstorms has become an indoor activity. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Brocahamptia's national animal is the pigeon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.
Brocahamptia is ranked 100,687th in the world and 7th in The Azalean Collective for Smartest Citizens, with 35.79 quips per hour.
