The Smash Hit Movie Version of Brocklandia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the biggest squirrels you ever saw with a fair hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, sprawling nuclear power plants, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 27.033 billion Brocklandians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.
The minute, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Darkest Surburbia. Income tax is unheard of.
The frighteningly efficient Brocklandian economy, worth an astonishing 10,348 trillion goobers a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 382,798 goobers, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,165,822 per year while the poor average 97,551, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.
Religious epiphanies are often cited as a reason for high school drop-outs, Brocklandia's Medieval Faire is renowned as one of the best in the region, only lightning has a chance of striking the biggest squirrels you ever saw twice, and national surveys report that bellies are getting fuller while heads are getting emptier. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Brocklandia's national animal is the giant dancing howler monkey, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is --uhm--maybe apathy--or whatever.
Brocklandia is ranked 40,410th in the world and 92nd in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Most Influential, scoring 1,586 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
