The Federal Republic of Bradbury is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles, aversion to nipples, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 3.239 billion Bradburyians are known throughout the region for their efficiency and work ethic, as well as their general suspicion of leisure.

The relatively small, moralistic government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Public Transport also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. The average income tax rate is 15.5%.

The very strong Bradburyian economy, worth 233 trillion Ducats a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 72,194 Ducats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

Satellite images show safe electoral constituencies in complete darkness, the government seizes all major gold finds, five-year-olds chanting "Little Miss Muffet" are accused of bullying arachnophobes, and teenagers are told they're not thinking about sex enough. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Bradbury's national animal is the Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bradbury is ranked 78,350^th in the world and 10^th in Swabia for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 14,127.56 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
