The Holy Great Empire of Brunolian is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Emperor Bruno B with an iron fist, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, national health service, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, cynical population of 3.044 billion Brunolianians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Brunopólis. The average income tax rate is 78.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Brunolianian economy, worth 351 trillion Regalis a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 115,545 Regalis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Noble feuds don't end until one side gets their point across, some people will do literally anything to be in the spotlight, droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police, and 3D printed organs are a breath of new life for the sick and elderly. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Brunolian's national animal is the Alaŭra, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Brunolinism.

Brunolian is ranked 27,313^th in the world and 386^th in Europe for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 233.39 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
