The Dictatorship of Breadstore is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Keebler with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, national health service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 2.31 billion Breadstoreans 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Breadstoria. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 41.9%.

The powerhouse Breadstorean economy, worth 257 trillion Crumbs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 111,318 Crumbs, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 428,821 per year while the poor average 19,876, a ratio of 21.6 to 1.

The clergy of Keeblerism remains a single-sex institution, seven-year-olds debate for weeks on the merits of the Oxford comma, social care for the elderly consists of a self help leaflet and a kick on the backside, and blue bloods are welcome in Breadstore. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Breadstore's national animal is the Waaf, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Keeblerism.

Breadstore is ranked 16,260^th in the world and 1^st in peeble for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 3,826.6 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
