The Free Land of Bryn Rhyddid is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 10.575 billion Bryn Rhyddidians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, liberal, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Education, although Healthcare and Environment are also considered important, while Law & Order and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aanlanding. The average income tax rate is 9.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Bryn Rhyddidian economy, worth a remarkable 1,438 trillion Bryn guilders a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 136,019 Bryn guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Urban high-volume mailers now receive their mail via chauffeur-driven limousines, government statisticians explain census inaccuracies by declaring that "Sith happens", "Leader got your tongue?" has become a popular idiom, and community organizers have given up going door to door because nobody is home. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Bryn Rhyddid's national animal is the cardinal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bryn Rhyddid is ranked 305,180th in the world and 350th in Eurth for Lowest Crime Rates, with 11.06 law-abiding acts per hour.
