The Bresean Kingdom of High-Tehc is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Brese King C R Oyalle with an even hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, pith helmet sales, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 10.988 billion Brese are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, pro-business government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Industry are also considered important, while International Aid and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dunedin-upon-BreseRiver. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Bresean economy, worth a remarkable 1,451 trillion tehc coins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 132,090 tehc coins, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 620,858 per year while the poor average 16,721, a ratio of 37.1 to 1.

School lessons are constantly interrupted by 'teacher needs a break' time, heartbroken parents are urged to "smile for the camera", agricultural employees work for peanuts, and big game hunters travel to High-Tehc to try their hand at shark-shooting. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. High-Tehc's national animal is the coin doge, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Breseanism.

High-Tehc is ranked 56,646th in the world and 26th in DogeLand for Largest Populations, with 11.0 billion capita.
