The Confederacy of Braitia is a titanic, socially progressive nation, renowned for its complete absence of social welfare and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 19.164 billion Braitians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Spirituality is also considered important, while International Aid and Welfare receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.7%.

The strong Braitian economy, worth 856 trillion Coins a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Retail, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 44,687 Coins, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 288,014 per year while the poor average 2,801, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Crime is a major problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Braitia's national animal is the Horse, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Braitia is ranked 7,387^th in the world and 2^nd in Arkonos for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 119.66 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
