The Commonwealth of Brodow Patanarhod is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 420 million Brodow Patanarhodians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Spirituality, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Veritas. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 13.1%.

The very strong Brodow Patanarhodian economy, worth 29.2 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Pizza Delivery, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 69,416 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 8.5 times as much as the poorest.

Food voucher forgeries are causing headaches for the police, the weather is the nation's most risqué topic of conversation, the tinfoil-hat crowd also recommend tinfoil wallets, and an online tea-bagging epidemic is getting worse and (meta)worse. Crime is moderate, probably because of the absence of a police force. Brodow Patanarhod's national animal is the shark, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Brodow Patanarhod is ranked 162,078^th in the world and 243^rd in The Kodiak Republic for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 462.13 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
