The Celestial Empire of Breen is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by the Daoguang Emperor with an iron fist, and notable for its smutty television, strictly enforced bedtime, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 20.775 billion Breen 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yin. The average income tax rate is 97.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Breen economy, worth a remarkable 4,656 trillion Yuan a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 224,145 Yuan, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Wars of expansion are described as "peacekeeping operations", students spend the school year learning how great the education system is, future leaders of Breen regularly dismiss pressing political issues when available options don't conform to their worldview, and The Pipe Bomb Makers' Pop-Up Book can be found in preschool libraries. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Breen's national animal is the Crane, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Shendao.

Breen is ranked 5,463^rd in the world and 3^rd in CISB Reforged for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 9,273.11 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
