The Great Republican Empire of Bradfimand is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 4.099 billion Bradfimandians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Brentogal. The average income tax rate is 91.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bradfimandian economy, worth 500 trillion pesos a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 122,087 pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bradfimandian novella fans become unusually flustered when thinking about Leader, video evidence of cruel animal experiments tends to be of poor quality, the arms industry is strictly regulated, and the government snoops on private internet connections. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bradfimand's national animal is the leopard, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Bradfimand is ranked 258,486^th in the world and 9,016^th in Lazarus for Most Primitive, scoring -182.52 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
