The Statistical Anomaly of Brokemia is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Markopsis Banfeld with an iron fist, and notable for its frequent executions, public floggings, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 22.12 billion Brokemians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Industry, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Welfare and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Brokenstar. The average income tax rate is 92.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Brokemian economy, worth a remarkable 6,609 trillion Waffles 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. 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 an amazing 298,786 Waffles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Construction of the Really Big Hadron Collider is underway, umbrellas are back in fashion, commuters travel in zigzags to avoid stalking accusations, and murder suspects plead the 'there was a rat beneath his chef's hat' defense. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Brokemia's national animal is the Kitty, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Kittien.

Brokemia is ranked 301,482^nd in the world and 11,365^th in Lazarus for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -12.52 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
