The Empire of the BB of BrightonBurg is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Kaiser Janos II with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, deadly medical pandemics, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 45.253 billion BrightonBurgians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The minute, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Greater Brightonburg City. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient BrightonBurgian economy, worth an astonishing 23,667 trillion Silver Coins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is a breathtaking 523,007 Silver Coins, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,078,565 per year while the poor average 88,757, a ratio of 23.4 to 1.

The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, a baby's first breath is also a baby's first felony, street preachers spend more time condemning government bureaucracy than passers-by, and the government spends twice as much reclaiming lost settlements from the sea as it could've on coastal defences. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. BrightonBurg's national animal is the Boar, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Holy Orange Catholic Church ⛪.

BrightonBurg is ranked 291,076th in the world and 61st in One big Island for Safest, scoring 2.16 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
