The Empire of the BB of BrightonBurg is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Kaiser Janos II with an iron fist, and notable for its pith helmet sales, keen interest in outer space, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 45.243 billion BrightonBurgians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The minute, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Greater Brightonburg City. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient BrightonBurgian economy, worth an astonishing 23,594 trillion Silver Coins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is a breathtaking 521,513 Silver Coins, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,105,991 per year while the poor average 86,198, a ratio of 24.4 to 1.

Medical staff can legally quiet people who ask for a second helping of Salisbury steak, pharmaceutical companies emphatically promise that "your pills are in the mail" rather than admit any supply shortfall, adult unemployment is rising as available jobs are filled by young children, and historical commemorations regularly devolve into militaristic jingoism. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. BrightonBurg's national animal is the Boar, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Holy Orange Catholic Church ⛪.

BrightonBurg is ranked 291,065^th in the world and 61^st in One big Island for Most Beautiful Environments, with 0.61 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
