The Commonwealth of New Bradman is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its soft-spoken computers, complete lack of prisons, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, cynical population of 585 million New Bradmanians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kingswood. The average income tax rate is 63.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving New Bradmanian economy, worth 54.9 trillion dollars 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 led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Automobile Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is 93,818 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's air missiles have killed thousands of Brasilistan military personnel, Brancaland has gifted over nine thousand putrid moose carcasses to New Bradman as a reminder of their "special relationship", every day has been a surprise since weather reporters turned to consulting ancient totems for their seven-day forecasts, and political speeches always take place at sunset to a background of patriotic power ballads. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Bradman's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

New Bradman is ranked 63,592^nd in the world and 226^th in Carcassonne for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 63.94 Effective Tax Rate.
