The Confederacy of Brailt is a large, cultured nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, enforced nudity, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 196 million Brailtians 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 enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 77.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Brailtian economy, worth 7.70 trillion defs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Basket Weaving. Average income is 39,278 defs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Five-year-olds chanting "Little Miss Muffet" are accused of bullying arachnophobes, 50% of adverts on children's television are for clothes made of cotton wool, report cards now include a 'Pain Tolerance' grading column, and the Brailt Automotive Racing Series draws millions of spectators annually while those near the tracks complain about the noise. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Brailt's national animal is the Komodo dragon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Brailt is ranked 50,853^rd in the world and 1^st in Restoros for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,932.42 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
