The Republic of Brookhaven is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and compulsory military service. The hard-working, democratic population of 757 million Brookhavenians are known throughout the region for their efficiency and work ethic, as well as their general suspicion of leisure.

The relatively small, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Liberty City. The average income tax rate is 17.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Brookhavenian economy, worth 35.4 trillion olotls a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 46,701 olotls, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Nobody knows why the caged axolotl sings, discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is illegal, Brookhaven has designated Liberty City as its capital city, and lobotomies haven't been the same after the practice was severed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Brookhaven's national animal is the axolotl, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Brookhaven is ranked 230,308^th in the world and 1,226^th in the Plains of Perdition for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 700.17 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
