The Empire of Brigadonia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Padishah Emperor with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, keen interest in outer space, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, devout population of 4.846 billion Brigadines are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Majestropolis. The average income tax rate is 78.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Brigadonian economy, worth 731 trillion denarii a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 150,891 denarii, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Listless juries are assembled for the simplest of court cases, it is still not known if the commander in chief outranks the supreme commander, gossip magazines are more interested in astrological stars than celebrity ones, and the government is known to care more about its buildings than its people. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Brigadonia's national animal is the goat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Zensunni.
Brigadonia is ranked 26,198th in the world and 77th in Commonwealth of Sovereign States for Most Patriotic, with 47.42 flags saluted per person per day.
