The Democratic Republic of Brovin is a large, cultured nation, renowned for its frequent executions, complete lack of prisons, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 74 million Brovinians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 7.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Brovinian economy, worth 4.85 trillion Euros a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 65,570 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

The arms industry is strictly regulated, Occam's razor has sliced to pieces any childhood belief in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy, sex offenders find themselves cut off from the ability to repeat their crimes, and the nationalised Arms Manufacturing Industry is not interested in making weapons. Crime is almost non-existent. Brovin's national animal is the Scarlet Dove, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Brovin is ranked 178,230^th in the world and 237^th in Wintreath for Most Beautiful Environments, with 494.03 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
