The Federal Republic of Braza is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Presidente Paulo with a fair hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.827 billion Brazans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.
The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zabra. The average income tax rate is 81.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Brazan economy, worth 391 trillion reais a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 138,530 reais, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The cruise missile launchers on the field hospital roof are purely deterrent in purpose, restaurant owners fear visits from government officials more than the actual food critics, whipping posts and lashes have been transferred to the Historical Museum of Brazan Embarrassments, and children raised in multi-faith households claim the other deity would let them stay up later. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Braza's national animal is the Capybara, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Braza is ranked 258,484th in the world and 33rd in Novo Brasil for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring -160.74 on the Hayek Index.
