The Empire of Bria Des Roocker is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 226 million brians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 50.4%.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Bria Des Roockerian economy, worth 5.91 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Soda Sales industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Automobile Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 26,163 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

It's best to say "yes" if the arbiter asks "what are you, a moron?", much of Bria Des Roocker's computer network is controlled by a rampant artificial intelligence, citizens need to demonstrate a complete set of dental records to throw five bucks in a hobo's hat, and Leader's told that love often manifests itself through homicidal four-lettered litanies. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate. Bria Des Roocker's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bria Des Roocker is ranked 133,269^th in the world and 187^th in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 765.47 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
