The Kingdom of Brocheland is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its smutty television, sprawling nuclear power plants, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.435 billion Brochelandians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The medium-sized, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of magnolia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 66.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Brochelandian economy, worth 842 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Pizza Delivery. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 189,879 dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,440,244 per year while the poor average 6,990, a ratio of 206 to 1.

The government considers it a sacred duty to video bikini-clad beach swimmers, a teen dramedy has been taken off air because the main villain is a man, scientific progress marches ever forward with the first ever launch of a cheeseburger into space, and immigrants are asked to leave their cultural traditions and pride at the border. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Brocheland's national animal is the wolverine, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Brocheland is ranked 147,250th in the world and 2,782nd in Osiris for Most Stationary, with 174.33014537308 days.
