The Most Serene Republic of Brouthazzia is a very large, safe nation, notable for its zero percent divorce rate, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The cynical, devout population of 361 million Brouthazzians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 69.3%.

The Brouthazzian economy, worth 17.4 trillion deniers a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Pizza Delivery, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 48,217 deniers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

The smell of tobacco is often smelt around legislative buildings across the nation, the "blue screen of death" forces many trials to be either aborted or restarted, science centers and state of the art laboratories are ubiquitous, and Brouthazzia recently decided against having a capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Brouthazzia's national animal is the beaver, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Brouthazzia is ranked 252,422^nd in the world and 339^th in Edoca for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -5.01 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
