“Let the victor be justice”

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

The Republic of Brumadia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Thomas Whiteleaf with an even hand, and renowned for its avant-garde cinema, infamous sell-swords, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 4.35 billion Brumadians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Brumadia. The average income tax rate is 69.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Brumadian economy, worth 398 trillion Nareses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 91,691 Nareses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Prime real estate is devoted to wind farms and solar energy generators, it takes months to get the proper permits for a child's first tricycle, pre-schoolers who draw stick figures of their favorite celebrities are sued for infringing image rights, and sheepish teenagers are making eye contact with their parents for the first time in a decade during state-enforced 'no-phones hour'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Brumadia's national animal is the bison, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Brumadia is ranked 144,212^th in the world and 5,740^th in Balder for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,083.78 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
