The State of Brigantin is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 16.649 billion Brigantinians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is dominated by the Department of Defense, with Industry, Education, and Public Transport also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.9%.

The strong Brigantinian economy, worth 903 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Furniture Restoration, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 54,284 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 349,868 per year while the poor average 3,402, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Voting is compulsory, military funding has been stripped back, and Brigantin has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Brigantin's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Brigantin is ranked 41,116^th in the world and 2^nd in Australia Commonwealth for Most Primitive, scoring 61.97 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
