The Democratic Centralist State of Brecago is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by The People's Revolutionary Tribunate with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 24.446 billion Brecagoans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Leningrad. The average income tax rate is 72.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Brecagoan economy, worth a remarkable 3,489 trillion labor vouchers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Soda Sales, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 142,746 labor vouchers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens are deployed to barren deserts to protect small territorial claims, couples are discouraged from marrying until they can rank their partner on a scale of one to ten, immigrants who carry knives on them are presumed to be chefs, and small children are learning a lot of new words from a teacher with Tourette Syndrome. Crime is totally unknown. Brecago's national animal is the bonobo, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Brecago is ranked 17,399^th in the world and 1^st in The Digital Confederation for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 7,996.14 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
