The Pink Holy Lucky Christmas of BriTone is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Santa Claus with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 2.252 billion BriToneans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yggdrassil. The average income tax rate is 79.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The BriTonean economy, worth 132 trillion Candy Cane Gold Bars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Furniture Restoration, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 58,697 Candy Cane Gold Bars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The official BriTonean Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child, religious households enthusiastically use whips in private, the best defense is a good fence, and cars have been banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. BriTone's national animal is the Bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Athyism.

BriTone is ranked 126,982^nd in the world and 242^nd in United Kingdom for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 74.62 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
