The Elected Monarchy of World Trade is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Monarch Elect Эдwaрд Wйт with an even hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, soft-spoken computers, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 17.822 billion Brussians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Elizabeth. The average income tax rate is 99.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Brūssky economy, worth a remarkable 5,657 trillion Dizhikwids 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 a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. 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 317,468 Dizhikwids, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The army lives rent-free in foreigners' heads and houses, mathematicians are gathering an infinite number of wild Prince Charleses and typewriters to see if they can recreate the works of Max Barry, power to the people comes from the barrel of a gun, and the new Brūssky-made OS is buggier and more inconvenient than a horse-drawn carriage. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. World Trade's national animal is the wild Prince Charles, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

World Trade is ranked 329,962nd in the world and 93rd in Thaecia for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -18.85 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
