The White Dragon Republic of Brunssum is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by The Village Idiot with a fair hand, and notable for its prohibition of alcohol, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 17.95 billion Brunssumians 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 medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Administration, Industry, and Environment are also considered important, while Spirituality and Law & Order receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Prince Hendrik. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Brunssumian economy, worth a remarkable 6,158 trillion Bitcoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 343,089 Bitcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hundreds of subterranean tunnels are being built as part of "Project Morlock", legislation sometimes has to battle through weeks of filibustering to pass, schools have extensive counseling programs for troubled students, and the nation has an international reputation for compassion. Crime is totally unknown. Brunssum's national animal is the Furby, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Pastafarianism.

Brunssum is ranked 4,782^nd in the world and 253^rd in The North Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 2,404.46 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
