The Republic of Bruder is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its pith helmet sales, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 317 million Bruderians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government prioritizes Administration, although Healthcare, Welfare, and Defense are also considered important. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 26.5%.

The strong Bruderian economy, worth 22.4 trillion Dollar Bucks a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 70,654 Dollar Bucks, with the richest citizens earning 5.5 times as much as the poorest.

Hundreds of sailors ride the good ship Leader day after day, where there's a will there is usually a password manager, the atmosphere in Bruderian boardrooms is turning more gay, and you can't make an omelet without breaking a few legs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bruder's national animal is the platypus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Bruder is ranked 166,010^th in the world and 175^th in The Order of the Grey Wardens for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 76.76 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
