The Democratic Republic of Brusselstein is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Aryan Vaidya with an even hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, ritual sacrifices, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.586 billion Brusselsteinians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Königsberg. The average income tax rate is 70.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Brusselsteinian economy, worth 222 trillion Brusselstein Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 140,369 Brusselstein Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is flooded with compensation requests, the government has enacted freedom of information, weekly religious services often resemble campaign rallies, and ice-filled coffins are ominously positioned in the corner of every hospital ward. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Brusselstein's national animal is the Brusselstenian Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity.

Brusselstein is ranked 38,196^th in the world and 52^nd in The Order of the Grey Wardens for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 775.13 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
