The United Royal Provinces of Hay-Brazil is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Prime-President with a fair hand, and renowned for its irreverence towards religion, hatred of cheese, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.33 billion Hayans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rio de Julho. The average income tax rate is 79.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Hay-Brazilian economy, worth 102 trillion Cruzado De Hays a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is mostly made up of the Basket Weaving industry. Average income is 43,910 Cruzado De Hays, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is a clear-cut case of tyranny by majority, councils up and down the country wrangle over legal matters, citizens are remarkably well involved in the political process, and the government only invests in infrastructure after a natural disaster. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hay-Brazil's national animal is the Tigre do Pantanal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Hayantic Cristhianism.

Hay-Brazil is ranked 78,623^rd in the world and 76^th in Lands End for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 2,272.21 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
