The United Kingdom of Bramsland is a titanic, safe nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The democratic population of 23.243 billion Bramslanders 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 enormous, socially-minded government prioritizes Welfare, although Education, Defense, and Healthcare are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bramsbury. The average income tax rate is 69.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The large but stagnant Bramslandic economy, worth 253 trillion pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Uranium Mining, Pizza Delivery, Automobile Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 10,895 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Pregnant hitchhikers with signs requesting rides to "competent care" are a common sight on Bramslandic roads, notable individuals are granted land and titles, racial and religious segregation has become rife as the various groups are loath to mingle, and the Federal Council of Bramsland has been announced as the new Head of State. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bramsland's national animal is the sturgeon and its national religion is Anglo-Lutheranism.
Bramsland is ranked 41,560th in the world and 4th in Brittonia for Least Corrupt Governments, with 93.94 percentage of bribes refused.
