The Most Serene Republic of Brussels Sprout is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Farmer Sprout with an iron fist, and remarkable for its closed borders, lack of airports, and flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 23.086 billion Brussels Sproutians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Farm. The average income tax rate is 96.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Brussels Sproutian economy, worth a remarkable 6,216 trillion Brussel Sprouts a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Uranium Mining, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 269,262 Brussel Sprouts, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Midwives must be skilled with the blade, farting etiquette is taught in schools, military funding has been stripped back, and tens of thousands of Brussels Sproutians rock the night away at the annual SuperLob. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Brussels Sprout's national animal is the Worm, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Brussels Sprout is ranked 1,640^th in the world and 3^rd in belgium for Highest Poor Incomes, with 230,711.17 Standard Monetary Units.
