The Oppressed Peoples of Brandon II is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Capitol C with an iron fist, and notable for its soft-spoken computers, free-roaming dinosaurs, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 2.632 billion BrandonIIs are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chicago. The average income tax rate is 69.8%.

The frighteningly efficient BrandonII economy, worth 350 trillion Bitcoins 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 large, well-organized black market in Tourism, Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. 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 an impressive 133,195 Bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Commemorative mugs remembering last year's Black Friday Crockery Riots are a best seller this year, three-year-olds have tantrums because they don't want to be drainage technicians when they grow up, you don't need a smoking gun to arrest someone for promoting guns, and Blueriver mercenaries routinely do the army's dirty work. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Brandon II's national animal is the Black Panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Islam.

Brandon II is ranked 152,423rd in the world and 2,635th in The North Pacific for Most Stationary, with 150.65343135952 days.
