The Republic of Brotherland is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Joan Ragno with a fair hand, and notable for its public floggings, keen interest in outer space, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 20.354 billion Brotherlandians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Brotherland City. The average income tax rate is 98.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Brotherlandian economy, worth a remarkable 3,191 trillion Songs a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 156,801 Songs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Paralegals spend all day Hewlett-Packing attorneys' law briefs, government ministers have eclectic tastes in curtains, wildlife have trouble navigating the electric fences surrounding national forests, and Maxtopian tourists make expensive pilgrimages to Brotherland City to enjoy their national art. Crime is totally unknown. Brotherland's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Fratracism.

Brotherland is ranked 295^th in the world and 4^th in The East Pacific for Most Influential, scoring 217,584 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
