The Republic of Brainwashed is a large, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, unlimited-speed roads, and avant-garde cinema. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 135 million Brainwashedians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 47.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Brainwashedian economy, worth 5.69 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 42,157 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The people consider response to rudeness to be an acceptable casus belli, teachers regularly paddle unruly students, the sick and dying are locked in their homes with a red "X" painted on the front door, and graffiti artists spend lengthy periods of time in jail. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Brainwashed's national animal is the animal, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Brainwashed is ranked 122,862^nd in the world and 15^th in Project Casino for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 639.89 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
