The Constitutional Monarchy of Brendano is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, free-roaming dinosaurs, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate, democratic population of 207 million Brendanoans 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 56.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Brendanoan economy, worth 12.8 trillion Crowns a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 61,637 Crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

International tensions are high as Brendano threatens any government with the audacity to arrest its citizens, there are no more heroes any more, the government is promoting multicultural values with the new 'Just Be Nice, OK?' initiative, and foreign nations kill migratory animals at random in the hope that Brendano will pay them to stop. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Brendano's national animal is the Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Brendano is ranked 283,729^th in the world and 6,051^st in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -13.63 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
