The Democratic States of Brogas is a massive, cultured nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.124 billion Brogasians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Qal'thab City. The average income tax rate is 47.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Brogasian economy, worth 250 trillion Taels a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 117,960 Taels, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians can be condescending (which by the way means "showing an attitude of patronising superiority"), collisions between bicycles and carnival floats are on the rise, commuters are denied boarding for attempting to bring packed lunches onto trains, and there's no representation without taxation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Brogas's national animal is the Saker Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Brogas is ranked 44,724^th in the world and 167^th in the Plains of Perdition for Highest Poor Incomes, with 59,664.88 Standard Monetary Units.
