The Allied States of East Brunsburg is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, public floggings, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 384 million East Brunsburgians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12.2%.

The thriving East Brunsburgian economy, worth 26.6 trillion Brunzes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 69,329 Brunzes, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

Girls in elementary school classes gaze longingly at boys playing tag, even in a one-horse town police are as common as fleas on a stray dog, shopkeepers use microscopes to verify the authenticity of banknotes, and college students make ends meet by selling their kidneys. Crime is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. East Brunsburg's national animal is the falcon, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

East Brunsburg is ranked 245,079^th in the world and 12^th in Convention of the Universe for Highest Drug Use, scoring 10.6 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
