The Great Congregation of Brethren is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Archdolphop Snow Warslayer with an even hand, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 11.044 billion Brethren are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Thriwich. The average income tax rate is 98.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Brethren economy, worth a remarkable 1,540 trillion tokens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism. Average income is an impressive 139,498 tokens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's politicians are known more for the internet memes they spawn than any of their accomplishments, the World Great Congregation Games have been won again by Brethren as no other country cares enough to compete, students who refuse to pray are expelled from school, and sex changes are routinely performed at Brethren's hospitals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Brethren's national animal is the Seagull, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Dolphinism.

Brethren is ranked 2,497th in the world and 62nd in The East Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 136.18 law-abiding acts per hour.
