The Theocratic Republic of Brandon is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Francis Meagher VII with a fair hand, and renowned for its rampant corporate plagiarism, smutty television, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 15.446 billion Brandonites enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, corrupt, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dublin. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Brandonite economy, worth a remarkable 4,873 trillion Emeralds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 315,486 Emeralds, with the richest citizens earning 6.0 times as much as the poorest.

Francis Meagher VII steals from the rich and gives to the needy, visiting dignitaries often end up cuddling in the hot tub with Francis Meagher VII, the hardest thing for a mining operation to dig through is government red tape, and chest pains are considered part of the dining experience in Brandonite restaurants. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Brandon's national animal is the Corgi, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Brandon is ranked 124,389th in the world and 16th in Ireland for Most Stationary, with 279.11504358848 days.
