The Republic of Branulia is a large, efficient nation, renowned for its infamous sell-swords, sprawling nuclear power plants, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 130 million Branulians 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 Industry, Education, and Spirituality. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.2%.

The powerhouse Branulian economy, worth 12.7 trillion crosses a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 97,575 crosses, with the richest citizens earning 8.0 times as much as the poorest.

The blood, sweat, and tears of poor Branulians make research institutes rich, the acceptance of acupuncture and other alternative therapies has needled the scientific community, tourists are flocking to the newly-built MeteorLand family resort, and light entertainment shows are light on actual entertainment. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Branulia's national animal is the harpy, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Branulia is ranked 68,646^th in the world and 32^nd in Edoca for Highest Average Incomes, with 97,575.45 Standard Monetary Units.
