The Isle of Bray is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its public floggings, compulsory gun ownership, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, devout population of 18.617 billion Avalonians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government prioritizes Defense, with Administration, Law & Order, and Industry also on the agenda. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 24.6%.

The strong Avalonish economy, worth a remarkable 1,248 trillion silver coins 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, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Cheese Exports. 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 67,050 silver coins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 197,856 per year while the poor average 17,870, a ratio of 11.1 to 1.

The nation threatens sanctions on islands only visible at low tide, prankster scientists legally change their names to silly pseudonyms before major discoveries, the country is rumored to be a Brancalandian puppet state, and government officials frown on anything more technologically advanced than an abacus. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bray's national animal is the red dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Bray is ranked 103,603^rd in the world and 9^th in Lennart for Highest Average Incomes, with 67,050.77 Standard Monetary Units.
