The Kingdom of Bracchia is a tiny, genial nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 9 million Bracchians 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 large, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 57.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The fragile Bracchian economy, worth 207 billion Bronze Nuggets a year, is led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Pizza Delivery, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 23,086 Bronze Nuggets, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bracchia's national animal is the Red Panda.

Bracchia is ranked 133,017^th in the world and 25^th in The Middle Pacific for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 512.07 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
