The State of Bridesville is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 38.66 billion Bridesvilleans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Law & Order, although Industry, Healthcare, and Welfare are also considered important, while Spirituality and Administration aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.5%.

The powerhouse Bridesvillean economy, worth a remarkable 2,033 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and dominated by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 52,592 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 168,346 per year while the poor average 12,472, a ratio of 13.5 to 1.

Citizens are regularly found digging for treasure in their gardens, programmes of questionable content are shown at peak-hours, citizens are bombarded with advertising from their compulsory minature radios, and major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day. Crime is a problem. Bridesville's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Bridesville is ranked 302,389^th in the world and 512^th in State for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -6.32 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
