The Constitutional Monarchy of Brendano is a very large, socially progressive nation, notable for its pith helmet sales, ban on automobiles, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 163 million Brendanoans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 54.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Brendanoan economy, worth 9.98 trillion Crowns a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 61,218 Crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Explicit slash fiction is repackaged for kindergarten kids as stories about friends cuddling friends, the government has solemnly sworn not to look up other nations' internet browsing history if the favor is returned, feuilletons can only be deciphered with a Galliennais dictionary, and a passport is literally priceless. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Brendano's national animal is the Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Brendano is ranked 67,611^th in the world and 1,974^th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 69 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
