The United Socialist States of Republic of Braz is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Joseph Lula with an iron fist, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, parental licensing program, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, cynical population of 10.335 billion Brazilians 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Brasília. The average income tax rate is 90.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Brazilian economy, worth 839 trillion Reais 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 Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 81,220 Reais, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

An underground movement of cigarette smokers has sprung up in response to a government ban, the police crack down on tax evaders without mercy, dozens of additional foreign policy specialists have been sent to the country's WA Mission, and the nation's diplomats shake hands with those whose hands are drenched in the blood of innocents. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Republic of Braz's national animal is the Jaguar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

Republic of Braz is ranked 121,896^th in the world and 70^th in The Leftist Assembly for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,456.76 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
