The Radiant Dáxlamic Ascendancy of Bradfordsborough is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Lýderis Bradford John with an iron fist, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, ban on automobiles, and ritual sacrifices. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 13.34 billion Bradfordsborughites are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of City of the Dux. The average income tax rate is 97.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Bradfordsborughian economy, worth a remarkable 2,065 trillion Dáxlamic Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 154,841 Dáxlamic Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government only invests in infrastructure after a natural disaster, Bradfordsborughian diplomacy is by the book, the church declares that everyone should get a large serving of nuts daily, and the nation's politicians are known more for the internet memes they spawn than any of their accomplishments. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bradfordsborough's national animal is the Golden Retriever, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Dáxlam.

Bradfordsborough is ranked 247,072nd in the world and 244th in Declansburg for Most Primitive, scoring -143.72 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
