The Duchy of Braghz is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Duke Andragon IX ae Braghz with a fair hand, and remarkable for its digital currency, compulsory military service, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 5.159 billion Braghzians are known throughout the region for their efficiency and work ethic, as well as their general suspicion of leisure.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Boreallux. The average income tax rate is 67.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Braghzian economy, worth 756 trillion bargs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 146,602 bargs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

The new Refuse Hills housing development is under construction, the act of reporting blasphemy is known as 'Orthodoxxing', teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers, and the government denies any involvement in the release of the Hot Load computer virus. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Braghz's national animal is the Braghzian White Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Braghzian Church.

Braghz is ranked 29,332^nd in the world and 1,606^th in Lazarus for Safest, scoring 109.28 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
