The Borderlands of Brovakia is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, pith helmet sales, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 4.186 billion Brovakians 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 medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 58.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Brovakian economy, worth 396 trillion Celsiuses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 94,656 Celsiuses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Shoppers have literally had their hands full since plastic bags were banned, 4-year-olds are often found reminiscing about the 'good old days', foreign policy is mostly just to smile and hope for the best, and over a third of the seats in sports stadiums have been removed to make room for female-only commodes. Crime is totally unknown. Brovakia's national animal is the Rat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Brovakia is ranked 65,379^th in the world and 205^th in 10000 Islands for Most Corrupt Governments, with 28.58 kickbacks per hour.
