The Republic of BRASILIENSE NATION is a huge, orderly nation, ruled by Capitão costa with an iron fist, and notable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 936 million BRASILIENSE 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, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Brasília. The average income tax rate is 61.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong BRASILIENSE economy, worth 67.6 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Tourism, Automobile Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 72,200 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Military chiefs are predicting extra funding in this year's budget, the government-sponsored autobiography 'A Capitão costa For All Seasons' has only been bought by the most loyal of Capitão costa's supporters, perverts across the land rejoice after 'sexual harassment' was recently renamed 'persuasive courting', and young men in tiny bikinis draw neither comment nor stares on the morning commute. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. BRASILIENSE NATION's national animal is the panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

BRASILIENSE NATION is ranked 247,850^th in the world and 9,556^th in the South Pacific for Highest Drug Use, scoring 9.2 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
