The Republic of Brooklin is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service and frequent executions. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 443 million Brooklands enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Brunchester. The average income tax rate is 13.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Brookland economy, worth 21.9 trillion Kows a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Automobile Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 49,409 Kows, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Workers tend to schedule naps during all-hands meetings, the weather in Brunchester is always 'pigeons with a chance of droppings', prime commercial land is being swamped with archaeological teams, and citizens try to ignore gruesome pictures of decaying teeth printed on their soda cans. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Brooklin's national animal is the crow.

Brooklin is ranked 223,092^nd in the world and 1^st in Secret Union of States of Brooklin for Most Authoritarian, with 489.43 milliStalins.
