The United States of Brenner Islandia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, ritual sacrifices, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 15.962 billion Brenner Islandians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Brenner Islandian economy, worth a remarkable 6,872 trillion Matts a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 430,524 Matts, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,457,513 per year while the poor average 36,555, a ratio of 67.2 to 1.

Computer users are buried daily in thousands of unsolicited emails, airplanes have giant grilles on their noses to knock drones out of their path, village elders are often called in to interpret voting outcomes in Parliament, and sales of superhero insurance have skyrocketed after the government abandoned the police in favor of vigilantes. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Brenner Islandia's national animal is the Jeff, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Brenner Islandia is ranked 403^rd in the world and 16^th in Osiris for Most Corrupt Governments, with 681.15 kickbacks per hour.
