The Commonwealth of Brunneshild is a titanic, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 10.1 billion Brunneshildians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 34.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Brunneshildian economy, worth 218 trillion Northern Crowns a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Woodchip Exports, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 21,604 Northern Crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation grinds to a halt for afternoon tea, the tenet of free speech is held dear, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, and the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Brunneshild's national animal is the falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Brunneshild is ranked 156,787^th in the world and 9^th in Alvion for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 42 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
