The Crepuscular Crepitations of Brumbys is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, sprawling nuclear power plants, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 37.292 billion Brumbies are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.8%.

The all-consuming a Brumby economy, worth a remarkable 4,330 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 116,121 Dollars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 640,173 per year while the poor average 10,658, a ratio of 60.1 to 1.

Citizens are bombarded with advertising from their compulsory minature radios, businesses often fire workers in favour of cheaper automatic systems, skateboarding is punishable by heavy fines, and military spending is on the increase. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Brumbys's national animal is the Brumby, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Brumbys is ranked 110,018^th in the world and 14^th in Free States of Gaia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 64.69 law-abiding acts per hour.
