The Republic of Brandenbourg-Anhalt is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by President Willy Kilberg Brandt with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 10.744 billion Brandenbourgish are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — prioritizes Education, with Healthcare, Environment, and Welfare also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Brandenbourg Stadt. The average income tax rate is 77.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Brandenbourgish economy, worth 326 trillion Brandenbourg Shillings a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 30,354 Brandenbourg Shillings, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers, a punitive tax has been placed on harmful emissions, businesses are forced to bring all work back within the nation's borders, and President Willy Kilberg Brandt has just been declared ruler of Brandenbourg-Anhalt in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Brandenbourg-Anhalt's national animal is the mute swan and phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Brandenbourg-Anhalt is ranked 189,547^th in the world and 1,938^th in 10000 Islands for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring -7.29 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
