The Winds of Spring of Broncherry is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, pith helmet sales, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-working, cynical population of 4.533 billion Broncherryians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 34.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Broncherryian economy, worth 441 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 97,358 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 6.5 times as much as the poorest.

Elected officials who disagree with Leader have a lot of accidents, caroling is considered a public disturbance, grinding bureaucracy has the international wheels of justice turning slowly, and lobotomies haven't been the same after the practice was severed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Broncherry's national animal is the penguin, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

Broncherry is ranked 138,563^rd in the world and 2^nd in static zone for Smartest Citizens, with 31.36 quips per hour.
