The Free Land of Brutgor

“The strength of the wolf is the pack”

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

The Free Land of Brutgor is a massive, socially progressive nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.509 billion Brutgorians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Social Policy. The average income tax rate is 57.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Brutgorian economy, worth 48.4 trillion Sherins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Trout Farming, Tourism, Cheese Exports, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 13,781 Sherins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Solid-gold toilets are Brutgorian prisons' least expensive furnishings, it is illegal to distribute Girl Guide Cookies without an advanced food hygiene diploma, the phrase 'spreading like wildfire' is no longer in the public lexicon, and court cases mostly involve lawyers shouting questions at witnesses giving silent shrugs. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Brutgor's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Brutgor is ranked 216,623^rd in the world and 8,142^nd in Balder for Highest Food Quality, scoring 10.61 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
