The Republic of Brations is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its frequent executions, state-planned economy, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 149 million Bratizilianoes are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 28.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Bratiziliano economy, worth 9.43 trillion Broedas 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, fairly diversified black market in Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Information Technology. 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 63,287 Broedas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Attendance of fathers at PTA meetings is at an all-time high, parking's carefree without parking car fees, schoolboys who turn to watch pretty girls go by are given detention, and birth rates have hit an all-time low. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Brations's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Brations is ranked 93,970^th in the world and 220^th in Conch Kingdom for Safest, scoring 85.2 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
