The People's Republic of Bridge Contra is a mid-sized, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 68 million Bridge Contrans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 44.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Bridge Contran economy, worth 3.90 trillion bids a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 57,294 bids, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Tampons are used as cheap fishing bobbers, the government prefers to leave the past buried, artists count down the years until Leader is allowed to listen to their music, and educators and parents alike are allowing children to view the internet again after violent videos were purged. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bridge Contra's national animal is the Colwyn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bridge Contra is ranked 90,830^th in the world and 444^th in The Leftist Assembly for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,068.12 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
