The National Directorate of Brunwald is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by National Director Maxwell Harkin with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, digital currency, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 7.635 billion Brunwaldians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Teixeira. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 89.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Brunwaldian economy, worth a remarkable 1,921 trillion Brunmarks 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, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Retail. 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 251,665 Brunmarks, with the richest citizens earning 6.0 times as much as the poorest.

Vital intelligence-gathering activities are often put on hold for Call of Honor tournaments, Teixeira's back alleys are rife with sausage eating, stranded mountaineers can watch livestreamed footage of their rescues, and using "inspect element" is grounds for espionage charges. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Brunwald's national animal is the Falcon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Strict Secularism.

Brunwald is ranked 275,032nd in the world and 9,396th in Balder for Most Stationary, with 8.60125838408 days.
