The Empire of the BB of BrightonBurg is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Kaiser Janos II with an iron fist, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, public floggings, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 45.275 billion BrightonBurgians 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 minute, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Greater Brightonburg City. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient BrightonBurgian economy, worth an astonishing 23,677 trillion Silver Coins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is a breathtaking 522,971 Silver Coins, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,111,878 per year while the poor average 86,439, a ratio of 24.4 to 1.

Protestors are soaking piles of Silver Coins in blood to make a point about government incomes, there's more vermin than ever on the metro, the military perceives nations hit by natural disasters as "easy pickings", and it is illegal to make racist remarks in public. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. BrightonBurg's national animal is the Boar, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Holy Orange Catholic Church ⛪.

BrightonBurg is ranked 287,048^th in the world and 60^th in One big Island for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -67.01 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
