The Democratic Republic of Brusselstein is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Aryan Vaidya with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, complete lack of prisons, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 6.673 billion Brusselsteinians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Königsberg. The average income tax rate is 98.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Brusselsteinian economy, worth a remarkable 1,495 trillion Euros a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 224,095 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Königsberg's back alleys are rife with sausage eating, wind farms are erected on shuttered oil platforms, the government advises foreign diplomats to speak softly and carry a big bag of cash, and environmental legislation occurs cyclically. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Brusselstein's national animal is the Brusselstenian Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Protestant Christianity.

Brusselstein is ranked 204,559^th in the world and 609^th in Europe for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -1.77 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
