The Republic of BrightFutures

“Lets us make a Brighter Futures”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Republic of BrightFutures is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Leader with an even hand, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 37.3 billion BrightFuturesians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government prioritizes Education, with Healthcare, Law & Order, and Public Transport also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of BrightFutures City. The average income tax rate is 98.4%.

The frighteningly efficient BrightFuturesian economy, worth a remarkable 7,232 trillion Luminosities a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Trout Farming, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an impressive 193,900 Luminosities, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Prisoners can't do number twos without their "toilet buddy" present, throwing garbage out of your house's front window makes it legally someone else's problem, brave curators do battle with disorganised government libraries, and the possibility of gain causes universal pain. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. BrightFutures's national animal is the Sun, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

BrightFutures is ranked 2,051^st in the world and 63^rd in Lazarus for Largest Populations, with 37.3 billion capita.
