The Federal Republic of Brandenburgia is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Bernie Sanders with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 5.128 billion Brandenburgians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Berlin. The average income tax rate is 95.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Brandenburgian economy, worth 846 trillion Euros 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 Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 165,155 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The death penalty has been reintroduced, nobody is allowed to stop the local daycare from reading Nietzsche to pre-schoolers, space research funding has hit a recent high while several military bases are being closed down, and contemporary art museums showcase the latest in centuries-old art. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Brandenburgia's national animal is the Emu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Brandenburgia is ranked 24,481^st in the world and 59^th in The League for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 1,044.46 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
