The United Socialist States of Brush Tsanglu is a large, cultured nation, renowned for its anti-smoking policies, lack of airports, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 199 million Brush Tsangluans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 82.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Brush Tsangluan economy, worth 5.23 trillion semillas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 26,266 semillas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Popular cartoon characters frequently appear in government-sponsored PSAs reminding students to say no to drugs, noises louder than a whisper have been prohibited by law, shoppers have literally had their hands full since plastic bags were banned, and the media seems excessively interested in what Leader is wearing this season. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Brush Tsanglu's national animal is the Great Blue Heron, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Brush Tsanglu is ranked 305,708^th in the world and 264^th in Forest for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -50.66 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
