The Larpublic of Brunting is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed population of 639 million Brunts have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eagle Valley. The average income tax rate is 52.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Bruntingian economy, worth 74.4 trillion pellets a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 116,503 pellets, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Escargots have lost their charm ever since they started to be called 'cooked land snails', pillows outnumber picket signs at most workers rallies, the government has forked out millions on an unmade bed that is apparently East Lebatuckese "art", and fifteen-year-olds cannot walk younger siblings to school without a professional Childcare and Education Certificate. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Brunting's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Brunting is ranked 62,150^th in the world and 232^nd in the Plains of Perdition for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 4,553.86 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
