The Federation of New Brodick is a huge, cultured nation, ruled by Supreme Emperor Valentinian with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, compulsory military service, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 912 million New Brodickians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Law & Order, although Administration, Defense, and Industry are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kelso city. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 24.0%.

The all-consuming New Brodickian economy, worth 104 trillion Dollarydoos a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 114,425 Dollarydoos, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

Many mayors are barely in office before being kicked out for minor parking violations, takeaway food bought on the weekend now comes with fifty percent more sweat and tears, the Smalltopian embassy doubles as an electoral campaign headquarters, and Supreme Emperor Valentinian has been self-declared as the Most Supreme Magnificent Overlord of Everything You Ever Saw. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Brodick's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

New Brodick is ranked 100,446^th in the world and 14^th in The Planet Renooth for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,807.07 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
