The Republic of Brandressen is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, zero percent divorce rate, and frequent executions. The cynical population of 717 million Brandressians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Healthcare, although Education, Administration, and Welfare are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lupia. The average income tax rate is 31.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Brandressenian economy, worth 29.2 trillion Brandressen Francs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 40,742 Brandressen Francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's infamous boot camp is more brutal than most battlefields, there is a heavy social stigma attached to e-cigarettes, promising seven years of bad luck leads to seven years of community service, and relations with Dàguó have warmed from frosty to chilly. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Brandressen's national animal is the Red Eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Brandressen is ranked 98,433^rd in the world and 1,326^th in the West Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 66.06 law-abiding acts per hour.
