The Loyalist Carpetbagger of James Bruce is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by The Lion Heart with an iron fist, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, barren, inhospitable landscape, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 18.594 billion James Bruceans 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 enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Edinburgh. The average income tax rate is 89.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient James Brucean economy, worth a remarkable 2,282 trillion tin pennies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is dominated by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Woodchip Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is an impressive 122,735 tin pennies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The highest sporting award is the Grail of Tears, deceased relatives are considered property to buy and sell, crops are flattened as farmers bludgeon insects to death, and parties on cruise ships go off with a real bang. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. James Bruce's national animal is the dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Druidry.

James Bruce is ranked 105,540^th in the world and 3^rd in Culloden for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 1,342.84 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
