The Democratic Republic of Brusselstein is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Aryan Vaidya with an even hand, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads, ubiquitous missile silos, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 6.722 billion Brusselsteinians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Königsberg. The average income tax rate is 98.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Brusselsteinian economy, worth a remarkable 1,509 trillion Euros a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 224,548 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

X-Files ratings have hit an all-time low, living well is no longer the best kind of revenge, tardiness has increased after carpooling was classified as a criminal offense, and illegal book-trafficking rings dominate the black market. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Brusselstein's national animal is the Brusselstenian Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Protestant Christianity.

Brusselstein is ranked 327,925^th in the world and 1,398^th in Europe for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -14.86 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
