The White Dragon Republic of Brunssum is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by The Village Idiot with a fair hand, and renowned for its vat-grown people, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 17.874 billion Brunssumians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Industry, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Law & Order receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Prince Hendrik. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Brunssumian economy, worth a remarkable 6,139 trillion Bitcoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 343,506 Bitcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Suspicious glow-in-the-dark wasps remain a source of terror and awe, Prince Hendrik's flashy holiday light displays can be seen from space, cricket farmers use magnifying glasses to fit every member of their herd with tiny tracking tags, and students are wary of colorfully decorated new teachers with names like Professor Pipsqueak. Crime is totally unknown. Brunssum's national animal is the Furby, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Pastafarianism.

Brunssum is ranked 9,920^th in the world and 440^th in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 101.25 law-abiding acts per hour.
