The Federation of Brasil Galatico is a large, genial nation, notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, suspicion of poets, and devotion to social welfare. The democratic population of 68 million Brasileiros Galáticos enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 64.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Brasil Galaticoan economy, worth 1.22 trillion Universals 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 slick, highly efficient black market in Book Publishing, Tourism, Cheese Exports, and Basket Weaving. 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 17,882 Universals, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

News headlines suggest that Leader has a sideline in guinea pig pimping, sexually-starved male dinosaurs terrorise tourists during weekly breakouts from Mesozoic Park, the government violently suppresses separatist movements, and centuries-old marble buildings are being torn down and replaced with corrugated steel wind tunnels. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Brasil Galatico's national animal is the Cachorro Caramelo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Brasil Galatico is ranked 136,460^th in the world and 15^th in Autropolis for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 2,072.11 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
