The Kingdom of Brutain is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and complete lack of public education. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 7.757 billion Brutish enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.
The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.7%.
The strong Brutish economy, worth 472 trillion Pecs a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Pizza Delivery, and Retail. Average income is 60,877 Pecs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 184,077 per year while the poor average 15,673, a ratio of 11.7 to 1.
Brutain has designated Brutain City as its capital city, Leader has just been declared ruler of Brutain in an international press conference, most voters only see their chosen representative visit once every election cycle, and a major religion has been named as Brutain's national religion. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Brutain's national animal is the nilgai, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
Brutain is ranked 5,630th in the world and 1st in The Eighth Closet for Most Primitive, scoring 116.66 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
