The Theocracy of Branagog is a very large, socially progressive nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 427 million Branagogians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Administration, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 70.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Branagogian economy, worth 9.92 trillion gold fish a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 23,234 gold fish, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Treason is relative, you can call your arthritic immigrant neighbour for all your roof-tiling and guttering needs, the military has forsaken terrestrial warfare, and the military is researching proton packs and PK-meters to combat "unseen enemy forces". Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Branagog's national animal is the parrot, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Branagog is ranked 35,949^th in the world and 64^th in Saint Osmund for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 50.37 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
