The Dictatorship of Breidholt is a small, orderly nation, notable for its punitive income tax rates, restrictive gun laws, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 29 million Breidholtians 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 68.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Breidholtian economy, worth 1.64 trillion Geckoids a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 56,579 Geckoids, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Immigrant herding has become a national pastime, customs turn away those considered to have an unfavourable ethnicity, oddly patriotic flash mobs spontaneously sing the national anthem, and fearful citizens watch their every move as does their government. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Breidholt's national animal is the Gecko, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Breidholt is ranked 69,943^rd in the world and 6^th in Swagnations for Most Patriotic, with 20.13 flags saluted per person per day.
