The Smash Hit Movie Version of Brocklandia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by the biggest squirrels you ever saw with a fair hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, flagrant waste-dumping, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 25.968 billion Brocklandians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The minute, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Darkest Surburbia. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Brocklandian economy, worth an astonishing 10,046 trillion goobers 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 Retail, Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. 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 an amazing 386,895 goobers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Exceptionally talented workers are praised more than Revolutionary heroes, the study of quantum physics has been outlawed for fear of accidentally causing the end of the world, cute fluffy little the biggest squirrels you ever saws are increasingly popular exotic pets, and public footpaths are being slowly eroded by the burgeoning number of ramblers. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Brocklandia's national animal is the giant dancing howler monkey, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is --uhm--maybe apathy--or whatever.

Brocklandia is ranked 7,198th in the world and 20th in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Highest Food Quality, scoring 182.93 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
