The Armed Republic of The 231st Podrian Infantry Brigade is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 579 million 231st Podrian Infantry Brigadeans are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The large, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 43.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant 231st Podrian Infantry Brigadean economy, worth 5.04 trillion assembly notes 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 Tourism, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Trout Farming, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 8,697 assembly notes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The 231st Podrian Infantry Brigade's national animal is the serpent.

The 231st Podrian Infantry Brigade is ranked 205,116^th in the world and 289^th in Transbian for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -3.16 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
